This article explores the digital life of one Indigenous youth and her experience with multiliteracies. The piece emphasizes the hybrid identity of contemporary Indigenous youth who not only reconcile traditional and contemporary identities, but also participate actively in several digital communities and life worlds. Through a participatory action research approach, listening to the digital experiences of youth can have fundamental impacts for creating more socially just pedagogical practices for multimodal multiliteracies.
