This year's teller is Fred Shaw. Fred, also known as Neeake, is of Shawnee descent and is a keeper of stories and traditions as a Truth Teller (Olammapise). He has presented storytelling, historical enactments, and multi-cultural programs for public and private schools, universities, museums, churches and synagogues, conservation groups, the IRS, state departments of natural resources, and other venues nationally and internationally.

He has been a featured teller at the Eiteljorg Museum of the American Indian, the Museum of Western Expansion in the St. Louis Arch, Cahokia Mounds, and many other national venues.\r\rFred was born in 1950 and raised on the farm that had been in his family since his Shawnee ancestors changed their names to hide in plain sight.
