What makes talking stick so special is that it was created right here in Saskatchewan! The app is always about connecting Indigenous people with others who understand their language, culture, and ways. It's like having conversations with someone who gets you and where you're coming from. The best part is that it's always anonymous, so anyone can use it without worrying about their identity being revealed. It's open to anyone who wants to use it, no matter who they are. So, if you need someone to talk to or to listen to you this app is here for you!" (Except from website - https://my.talkingstick.app/#/guest/home)
