Description

Native American Jemez Made Storyteller with Two Little Ones and a Baby by Chrislyn Fragua

Classic storyteller by Chrislyn Fragua from Jemez, NM. The woman is telling stories of their cultural history to the toddlers and the baby and they sing the stories back. The little boy with his drum and the little girl with her basket might not be really singing the words, but it appears they are belting out their own tunes. 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.
