Andi Cloud, an enrolled member of the Ho-Chunk Nation, will share cultural stories regarding land and water. Learn about the Ho-Chunk year as she introduces the Ho-Chunk moons and discusses farming, foraging, and nomadic life. Registration required: https://lephillips.librarycalendar.com/ho-chunk-harvest
Many Native American tribes tell stories in winter because other seasons have traditionally been dedicated to growing, gathering, harvesting and hunting food. There’s also a tradition that says stories are told in winter because animals are hibernating then, and they’re less likely to overhear stories told about them; thus, wintertime stories are more respectful.
This event is part of our annual One Book, One Community program.
