The 27th Annual Evening of Storytelling was a beautiful night of music, laughter, language, and powerful teachings. ✨
American Indian & Indigenous Studies was honored to welcome Leon Valliere (Lac du Flambeau Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians), John Teller (Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin), and Angel Sobotta (Nez Perce Tribe), who generously shared stories, teachings, and language with our community.
We are also deeply grateful to the Wisconsin Dells Singers for their powerful songs that opened and closed the evening.
Thank you to everyone who joined us to listen, learn, and be part of such a meaningful gathering!
