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.
About the Presenter: Andi Cloud is an enrolled member of the Ho-Chunk Nation. Her Ho-Chunk, waksik, name is Nizuwi, Rain Woman. She was named by her grandfather, coka, the late Eugene Thundercloud and is a member of the Thunder Clan. Andi grew up in Black River Falls, Wisconsin.
