Stories from the People of the Long House presented by Master Storyteller Perry Ground

Friday, August 8, 2025 07:00 PM - 08:00 PM

This Storytelling presentation is filled with traditional Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) legends that have been told for hundreds of years. These stories teach about the beliefs, customs, and history of the Haudenosaunee people. Storyteller Perry Ground will bring the stories to life through vivid descriptions, his rhythmic voice, and a VERY active stage presence. These stories become ‘interactive' as Perry is known to include audience members in the stories. Elements of traditional Haudenosaunee lifestyle, pieces of historical information and LOTS of humor are woven into each story. Discussion about the Haudenosaunee culture and the art of storytelling is also part of this program. Not just for children, all listeners (young and old), will find this presentation captivating, highly entertaining yet very educational. Bring camp chairs or blankets to sit on. Dress for the cooler evening temperatures and bring bug spray. This program is at the Reserve Shelter.
