Raven Steals the Sun: Native American Eclipse Stories
Join us on Saturday, March 2 at 11:30 AM for a story-filled presentation that will share the beliefs, traditions, and protocols of several Native American tribes related to sun and eclipse events. Tribes across North America have stories to explain these solar events and view them in many different ways - as a signal or a transformation, as omens, as sacred, and as a celebration. The traditional legends of the Cherokee, Navajo, Inuit, Haudenosaunee, and many others, have been told for hundreds of years and continue to be important to Native American culture today. Master storyteller, Perry Ground will bring the stories to life through vivid descriptions and audience participation. Listeners of all ages will find this program captivating, entertaining, and very educational.
