This study investigates how the urban Rarámuri community in Chihuahua, Mexico, leverages digital storytelling to recontextualize elder knowledge for the younger generation. Through workshops, it enables youth to express ancestral wisdom in contemporary urban settings, fostering a dynamic cultural identity. This approach highlights the adaptability of traditional narratives via digital media, underscoring the importance of intergenerational dialogue. The findings aim to contribute to the broader discourse on sustaining indigenous cultures in the present.
