Join us to celebrate Native American Heritage Month with storyteller Dovie Thomason!Come have fun and learn with storyteller Dovie Thomason! This program focuses on an intertribal sampling of Indigenous American animal stories, which often explain what and why questions about the Earth and her animal children (why bear hibernates, why rabbit has no tail, etc.) while teaching proper behavior and values.
About the Presenter: Dovie Thomason imagines herself as a river, fed by many streams: Lakota, Apache, and Scot Traveller ancestry, urban Chicago, rural Texas and international travels, the Internet and Indigenous elders, family teachings, kitchen table wisdom, and university classrooms — and draws on those contrasts and cultures in her work. Conveying these stories respectfully and responsibly is Thomason’s calling and has made her one of the most respected and admired storytellers of her generation. She has been featured at countless prominent global events, including the Kennedy Center, National Museum of the American Indian, the Smithsonian, Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre, and festivals from Tennessee to Estonia, New Zealand to New Mexico. You can find more about her on her website at https://www.doviethomasonstoryteller.com/.
