Our Story
At Talking Circle, we believe lasting solutions begin when people come together in trust and respect.
Launched as VNN Media Services in 2018, our new name reflects our commitment to Native traditions that place relationship, balance, and collective wisdom at the heart of progress.
In Native communities, the talking circle is more than a gathering.
It is a sacred practice where all voices are equal, listening is valued as deeply as speaking, and communities work through challenges together. The circle itself has no beginning or end, symbolizing unity and continuity.
At the center of our circle are the values that shape every decision and partnership:
Trust
Every solution is built on transparency, accountability, and reliability.
Community Power
People are at the center of the circle, shaping solutions together.
Respectful Innovation
Technology and information serve community well-being, not exploitation.
Cultural Grounding
Our work honors Indigenous knowledge, sovereignty, and traditions.
Collaboration
Stronger together, we weave voices across generations and sectors.
