Smithsonian Events - One Time

Native American storytellers use the oral tradition to teach life lessons, tribal histories, and the nuance of languages. Such stories are an essential tool in passing knowledge from one generation to the next.

Experience storytelling with Robert Lewis (Cherokee Nation), who will share stories of his people and culture. Lewis engages audiences of all ages with witty and amusing personal stories and Cherokee tales of language and history.

This program is pre-recorded and available on demand in February, and is made possible by the generous support of Con Edison.
