 Peter Brodeur
"Bearded Turtle" is not an American Indian Storyteller, but rather a teller of American Indian stories, mostly stories from the "People of the Dawnland"(Wabanaki). He is native to the area and these stories are about places and things that are part of him. "I tell stories to keep alive oral tradition over 10,00 years old, and because a story is only a story if it is told." beardedturtle@netscape.net |
 Meg Brown
As a child, Meg studied the cello, an instrument, it is said, that is most like the sound of the human voice. One day she learned to tell stories in her own voice. We are reminded of the story of the Willow Tree, a place where people gathered under to tell their tales. One day a bow was fashioned out of Willow branch and when drawn across the instrument out came all the stories hidden within the tree. megcbrown@verizon.net |
