SPOKANE, Wash. — The National Endowment for the Humanities awarded a $100,000 grant to two Gonzaga professors to develop a project celebrating the history and culture of Northeast Spokane.
Gonzaga University (GU) professors Katey Roden and Greg Gordon plan to build a website documenting the history of communities along the Children of the Sun Trail. The professors aim to have the project, 'Finding our Way', as a public resource for user to document their experiences.
"It is an opportunity for the Spokane community to ensure that often over-looked communities have a place to access information about the place they call home and a platform to tell their own stories," said project co-director Katey Roden.
The next phase of the 'Finding Our Way' project will happen from Spring 2024-2025.
The Washington Department of Transportation (WSDOT) is collaborating with co-directors Roden and Gordon on 'Finding Our Way'. WSDOT and the GU professors aim to install physical installations and QR codes along the trail. Users can upload videos our audio messages to the website, mapping the stories people share along the trail.
