Join the fun as the National Museum of the American Indian celebrates traditional and contemporary storytelling with accomplished Native storytellers Thirza Defoe (Oneida/Ojibwe), Perry Ground (Onondaga), and Gene Tagaban (Tlingit/Cherokee). Listen, watch, and learn how to tell stories not only with words, but with music, song, dance, and film as well. This weekend includes hands-on activities for all ages.
