The goal of healing in the Earth Stories videos, given the history and sense of loss for the environment, and the multiple cultures represented, is palpable, admirable. They are personal journeys, and in the larger picture, they can be an important contribution toward mitigating the damage inflicted on people and treasured landscapes in the U.S. and globally.

Through this workshop, we learned more about the connection people make between stories and maps, about the process of story mapping, and also about how to use new technology and create trust and a safe space through digital communication tools.

We hope we will live through today, tomorrow, the next day. We don't know. We feel that we don't have any future. This is what we are thinking at the moment.
