Night of Indigenous Storytelling

Night of Indigenous Storytelling is an event format that creates space for Indigenous storytellers to share traditional and contemporary stories with community audiences. These events feature various forms of Indigenous narrative art including traditional oral histories, contemporary spoken word, theatrical performance, and musical storytelling. Such events serve multiple purposes: preserving Indigenous languages and cultural knowledge, providing platforms for Indigenous artists, educating non-Indigenous audiences about Indigenous perspectives and experiences, and creating community gathering spaces centered on Indigenous culture. Storytelling has always been central to Indigenous cultures, serving as the primary means of passing down history, teaching values, sharing knowledge, and maintaining cultural identity. Contemporary Indigenous storytelling events honor this tradition while demonstrating its continuing relevance and vitality. These events often feature multiple storytellers representing different Indigenous nations and artistic approaches, creating rich, diverse programming that showcases the breadth of Indigenous artistic expression. By centering Indigenous voices and stories, these events contribute to broader reconciliation efforts and challenge audiences to engage with Indigenous perspectives.
