| Details | 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.
In this virtual program, available on demand, enjoy the unique stories from Robert Lewis, Moses Goods, and Gene Tagaban.
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.
Moses Goods (Native Hawaiian) is one of Hawai‘i’s most prominent theatre artists and storytellers. Moses will share traditional Hawaiian stories with a contemporary twist, including one featuring the legendary trickster Maui. Gene Tagaban (Tlingit), also known as “One Crazy Raven,” is a teller of stories that teach, entertain, and heal. Gene will regale listeners with stories from his grandmother about the trickster Raven. This program is pre-recorded and available on demand in February, and is made possible by the generous support of Con Edison. |
