Jacob Grignon, an enrolled member of the Menominee Tribe, is a student, a photographer, and a musician who is passionate about listening to and passing on the stories of his elders.

Teachings of Elders Shape Native Communities

Since high school, Jacob has been helping his community discover and archive both historic and prehistoric Native American sites, assisting in archiving and protecting over 1,500 sites.

Through relationship-building and interviews with Native elders, Jacob will create an audio and video archive of Traditional Teachings, giving elders the opportunity to share their stories and giving Native youth moderated access to their lessons.
