DESCRIPTION:http://www.lectures.iastate.edu/lecture/18464\n\
 n\"Stories of the First Nations\,\" Dovie Thomason\, storyte
 ller\, recording artist and author. As a child\, Thomason gr
 ew up hearing stories and Indian legends from her Kiowa Apac
 he and Lakota relatives\, especially her Grandma Dovie and h
 er dad.\n--------------------\nThomason's love of stories an
 d her cultural heritage inspired her to use storytelling as 
 a tool to educate people about the cultures of the First Nat
 ions of North America. She began sharing stories in public s
 ettings while teaching literature and writing at an urban hi
 gh school in Cleveland. Thomason considers herself the produ
 ct of mixed background - urban Chicago and rural Texas\, the
  Internet and Native American elders\, family teachings and 
 university classrooms - and draws on those contrasts in her 
 work.\n\nIn cooperation with Story City's STORY! Celebrating
  the Art of Storytelling Festival\, Sept. 18-20\, 2009.\n\nC
