Description

Native American Jemez Made Storyteller with Two Little Ones by Felicia Fragua

Classic storyteller by Felicia Fragua from Jemez, NM. The woman is telling stories of cultural history to the two little ones. We are not sure if the little ones are really singing the words. The storyteller is an adaptation of centuries-old creations in figurine pottery. Cultural traditions and values have historically been passed on by tribal elders through songs an stories geared to teaching the young. It is in these delightful representations that the intense love of the Native American Indians for their children is most clearly shown.
