The Star Preservation Project

The People of the Fallen Star

We are known as the people of the falling star and in 2020, STEM Studio set out on a mission to record oral stories of our elders and utilize our skills in technology to identify all available online documentation of the Waccamaw Siouan Tribe. The project's goal is to preserve the history and stories of our people.
