This four-day event, hosted by PSU’s Native American Student and Community Center, warmly invited the greater Portland community to share in the rich ancestral tradition of Native groups from the Pacific Northwest.

To paraphrase Rose High Bear, winter is a sacred time of rest and of family, as the oral tradition of “learning at the feet of our grandparents” takes place. In addition to sharing their stories, the storytellers served as mentors to the next generation of storytellers, whose tales closed out the festival at the Sunday afternoon matinee. The festival also served as a key opportunity to make the community aware of other Wisdom of the Elders projects, such as the Discovering Our Stories, as well as Wisdom’s television and radio programs.
