Enjoy Deering's Stories and Perspectives. 

Oral history stems from the tradition of passing information of importance to the family or tribe from one generation to the next.  It  is used to preserve the voices, memories and perspectives of people in history. It is a tool we can all use to engage with and learn from family members, friends, and the people we share space with  in an interview that captures their unique history and perspective in their own words. We construct our identities through narratives and when individuals or groups of people share their personal stories, they can be a bridge, allowing us to glimpse other’s experiences or views. This can deepen our understanding of how past events impacted individuals and our communities and in gaining new perspectives on the present, help individuals and communities in making decisions for a better future.​
