We are very pleased to be hosting local storyteller Hears Crow on Friday, November 17th at 6:30 pm, presenting a family program of traditional stories from the Longhouse peoples who lived predominantly along the Eastern Seaboard. All ages are welcome, but the stories may be more engaging to children aged five and over.

Hears Crow describes herself as a woman working within the dominant culture, while living her life quietly in the tradition of the Nanhigganeuck, the people known today as the Narragansett tribe. She loves to share the Longhouse traditions with others, “...keeping alive the ceremonies, tales, and songs of the 'old ones' as well as working to reclaim the traditional language.” When asked about the passing on of knowledge from the Elders, she says, “I owe my teachers everything, but those with whom I share the teachings, they owe me nothing.” Our programs are free, open to all, and fully accessible. The best entrance is via the path from designated parking on the west side of the library at 638 Main Street, Castleton (across from the bank). Light refreshments will be served.
