This is a repository of open-licensed images derived from the stories in the Indigenous Storybooks collection. All of the original artwork was contributed by Little Cree Books under an open license. In addition, black and white illustrations in the original collection have been colourized by Ingrid Schechter.
The image bank was created as a in the process of generating stories for ISB Source and the Indigenous Storybooks website.
There are similar imagebanks available for the African Storybook, Pratham Books, as well as the repository for the original unedited images from Little Cree Books, which this repository has been modelled on.
Since the original images are relatively large, they have been made available in this repository in two different sizes for convenient re-use in other applications. The original size images are in the large folder. The images in the medium folder are approximately half the size of the corresponding images in the large folder.
