Native American Storytelling
Standing Woman, a Mohawk Turtle Clan member, storyteller, and educator at Heldeberg Workshop, will entertain and educate as she shares Native American stories highlighting her native oral tradition. Oral storytelling is a way to honor, respect, and keep the history of Indigenous peoples alive. This program is recommended for children ages 7 and up.
