Summary
White Snake Projects has rolled out “Indigenous Stories,” a free phone-based augmented reality experience that adds Indigenous-created performances to Boston Freedom Trail landmarks.
At sites including the Old State House, visitors can use the app to watch music and storytelling that recount historical events through Native perspectives tied to those locations.
The Brookline-based activist performance company said the project is meant to expand—not replace—familiar accounts of Boston history by adding voices often left out of traditional narratives.
Free smartphone access lets people encounter the performances while standing at the historic sites, blending location-based technology with public history on one of Boston’s best-known tourist routes.
