Elder Shelley speaks of story from Anishinaabe ways of knowing, being, and doing. Her introduction is part of who she is and is therefore the beginning of her own story. She begins with a traditional introduction connecting her story first to land and her community.
Consider how the story is rooted in location. How does place/location shape one’s story? Consider where you (or your family) are from and/or where you are currently.
Make a personal introduction that connects you to places and people.
