Dighton Historical Society presents "Native American Nature Tales"

Posted

The Dighton Historical Society is presenting a family friendly program "Native American Nature Tales" by Diane Edgecomb on Sunday, September 23, 2018 at 2:00 PM at the Friendship Hall of the Dighton Community Church, 2056 Elm Street, Dighton, MA.

Join one of New England's favorite tellers, as these rich stories create a colorful weave of the landscape. Diane Edgecomb will explore tribal myths and legends of the animals and birds of North America. Ranging from the humorous to the heart-felt, these stories celebrate native culture and its strong links to the natural world. Through these how and why legends, the audience will begin to understand how Native American culture clothed their world in story and how this enlivened both imagination and world. Diane has received permission from many prominent native writers to present these folktales. This program is supported by a grant from the Dighton Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council. Admission is free.
