NSN SUMMIT NEWS
Goodbye 2019...Hello 2020! The NSN 2019 National Storytelling Summit, held in Fremont, California was a big hit and we'd like to thank everyone who helped to make the event a success!
Despite the minor hiccups, smiles graced the faces of all who were in attendance and we heard many good reports about the excellent programming and opportunities to network with others in the storytelling community.
Though we've closed the books on the 2019 Summit we're not idling down the road, we're hitting the gas and racing to start planning for the 2020 Summit! The 2020 Summit will be held in Atlanta, Georgia (location TBA) from July 23-26, 2020. We'll be releasing the 2020 Call for Presentations in the near future so watch your email inboxes, social network feeds, and the NSN website for more information.

Blackfoot Oral Stories Database brought to life by ii’ taa’poh’to’p grant In the Blackfoot tradition, stories are shared as a way to document history and to teach important life lessons. Siksika Elder and Horn Society member Natóóhkitopi Fred Breaker tells us, “Our culture is centered around an oral tradition, and our people learn orally, through storytelling. The stories were given to us, passed down through generations, sometimes from the animals we used to converse with, and sometimes from the Creator.”
