“…Importantly, the interrelated processes of storytelling and storylistening reveal the "interrelatedness between the intellectual, spiritual (metaphysical values and beliefs and the Creator), emotional, and physical (body and behavior/action) realms" (Archibald, 2008, p. 11). These stories, storytelling, and storylistening reflect land-based lifeways in place (Marker, 2018;Ortiz, 1992) and reflect important protocols of asking for stories and receiving them that index values of reciprocity and require labor and responsibility on the part of the hearer (Iseke, 2013). This paper makes visible how such theory-making is active, not passive; and the actions of story-making are critical to Indigenous ways of knowing (Kawagley, 1995) in concert with place (Marker, 2018).…”

Expanding efforts in Indigenous language revitalization and reclamation (e.g., Henne-Ochoa et al., 2020;Leonard, 2008 Leonard, , 2019McIvor, 2020) highlight the ecology of relations that language is embedded in across communities and land. A critically important aspect of understanding these relations is a language's "livingness" in place; that is, the context of where the language emerged and where the language is intertwined and has lived within lands and stories for generations. Taking up this intersection of language, land, and story, our paper examines the multimodal language of storying the land in Ojibwe in episodes from video-recorded intergenerational (Elders and youth) walks in the woods that were a part of an Indigenous languages documentation project. We focused on interactional episodes involving storywork (Archibald, 2008) and conducted interaction analysis (Jordan & Henderson, 1995). Indigenous scholarship (e.g., Noori, 2013Simpson, 2014) articulates the importance of stories as Indigenous theory, and this paper builds on this work, illustrating how everyday storying and walking on lands (Marin & Bang, 2018) are rich contexts for language learning and reclamation.
