ABSTRACTThis poster presents a community‐focused participatory design methodology as a basis for developing a digital storytelling system for the Inuvialuit Settlement Region in Canada's Western Arctic. It provides an overview of the various stages of digital storytelling system prototype design informed by an Inuvialuit elder's storytelling gathering and a community experience open house. Among the prototype redesign ideas are empathy maps we are using to allow us to connect stories with designs and community needs in mind.
