November 2025 – National Indigenous Peoples’ Month

This month is National Indigenous Peoples’ Month. We honor the voices, legacies, and culture of indigenous people.

Oral history and storytelling has long been central to Indigenous cultures. It is used as a means of passing down history, traditions, language, teaching, and community building. These narratives hold wisdom that written archives alone can never capture. When these spoken stories are preserved through transcription, they become a part of the collective record. At ATC, we vow to continue preserving their truth through storytelling, one transcript at a time.

Below is one of our indigenous clients, speaking about her own culture and heritage:

“I am proud to be a citizen of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation. As an oral historian and Mvskoke historic preservationist, I hope that people will take time to learn and remember the histories and lived experiences of this country’s Indigenous peoples, as they have much to teach about life and living. And, having lived on the lands now known as America, since time immemorial, Indigenous people and their stories remain a critical piece of the American story.”

-Midge Dellinger, Heritage and Cultural Preservationist Department Oral Historian
