Join us for one of the Museum’s most popular annual events, a concert of American Indian tales, told during the winter months, the traditional time of telling. This year's presenter is Eldrena Douma, a Hopi-Tewa storyteller from Laguna Pueblo who travels throughout the United States sharing stories from her American Indian heritage. Her experience as a storyteller began in her youth listening to family stories of her great grandmother Nampeyo and her contribution to the pottery world. Adults in her community told of life experiences, history, and folktales. Today, Eldrena continues to develop stories of her own unique creation which stand to become as much a part of her rich heritage as the traditional stories she grew up with. Winter Tales concerts are sponsored by an endowment from Reginald and Gladys Laubin and supported in part by the Illinois Arts Council, a state agency.
