'Indigenous Whispers' project honors Miami’s Native heritage

The "Indigenous Whispers" project, founded by Judith Anderson and Christine Michaels, aims to preserve Miami’s Native American heritage by creating a historical trail along the Miami River. The project will use augmented reality to highlight the stories of the Tequesta tribe, who inhabited the area from 500 B.C. to the mid-1700s. Visitors will use smartphones to scan QR codes at 20 stops, learning about the tribe’s lifestyle, commerce, and relationship with the land. The initiative seeks support to develop the technology needed to launch the project.
