About this preview
History & Culture: a library led by a featured story
A clickable, high-fidelity prototype of the public site's History & Culture section, following low-fidelity option 2. Story text is a draft written from the Tribe's public pages for review. Final words, spellings and approvals come from the Tribe's reviewers.
Two ways to tell a story
- Interactive story (the Great Oak): a scroll-driven story where photos, text and milestones come into view as you scroll. We design and build each one, Autumn story-reel style. Best for a first impression and for sharing. It always includes a plain reading path and a reduced-motion version. It's being designed separately and opens from the featured card.
- Visual article (Pu’éska Mountain): a standard story page staff can publish from the template: big photography, chapters, dated milestones, a source on every claim, print and cite. Best for reading, teaching, search and keeping current.
- Both formats use the same approved facts, captions and sources.
How the section is organised
- A short identity introduction (three facts, each from the Tribe's own pages) beside the featured story.
- Every story by theme, with filters. Stories not written for this preview open a page saying so, with a link to the Tribe's current page.
- Learning resources and films, then "Keep learning, in person": the Cultural Center, Mountain Day and the school.
Content rules shown in the design
- Every photo has a caption and a credit line ("credit to confirm" where unknown).
- Where sources describe different milestones or dates, the page says so instead of choosing one.
- The Creation account and other cultural knowledge link to the Tribe's own words rather than being retold.
- No invented quotes or voices. A "hear it said" control appears only with an approved recording.
Images (internal review only)
- All photos come from public Tribal, City of Temecula and film-publisher pages via the research library. Reuse permission is not established. People in the photos still need to be identified and their permission confirmed.
Not in this preview
- The rest of the public site (Government, Services, Events, News, search). The links show a short note.
- Embedded films: these need the filmmakers' permission, so they link out.
