West Valley Voices

'A story matrix connects all of us'—Poet Joy Harjo

Our mission

A place where the stories, cultures, and histories of the people of the West Valley are documented, preserved, and celebrated.


About us

West Valley Voices allows participants to gain an appreciation and understanding of stories about diverse cultures — past and present — by engaging in oral history research and retelling these stories through documentaries, plays, film scripts and a variety of other means.
