Native American Storytelling: Zoom/Hybrid program with Anne Jennison

This is a hybrid program, held over Zoom. Participants may watch from home, or come to the library and watch with us in the Community Room! Please use the link below to register and receive the Zoom link via email.

Anne Jennison’s Native American traditional storytelling performances mostly draw from Abenaki and other Northeast Woodlands stories – and often begins with a greeting song or friendship song, accompanied by her rattle or frame drum. Then Anne shares a few Abenaki storytelling traditions to place the stories in cultural context – and to teach listeners how to participate in the storytelling through the use of a call-and-response phrase. After that, listeners will be taken on a spell-binding and entertaining journey through a series of traditional Native American stories. Each story has a compelling narrative, but also some subtle – and some not so subtle–life lessons! Prepare for an interactive storytelling experience filled with humor, drama, and moments of wonder.
