Echoes of the Land: Hurricanes, History, and Storytelling

Echoes of the Land: Hurricanes, History, and Storytelling

Florida Humanities and Sacred Lands Preservation and Education are hosting “Echoes of the Land: Hurricanes, History, and Storytelling” which explores the ways people in the Tampa Bay region, past and present, have sought to understand and process the impact of hurricanes. Historic tours of the Tocobaga mound site will be available by registration before and after the program. Scholars and local experts will participate in a trivia-style game moderated by Dr. Dominick Tartaglia, Florida State Folklorist and Director of the Florida Folklife Program. Audience participants are encouraged to play along and answer questions that will focus on human and environmental history, hurricane preparation/knowledge, as well as folklore, Indigenous experiences, and local culture.
