Description

Native American Jemez Made Storyteller with One Little One by Chrislyn Fragua

Classic storyteller by Chrislyn Fragua from Jemez, NM. The woman is telling stories of cultural history to the toddler who is holding a drum. We are not sure if the little one is really singing the words and maybe even drumming along. 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.
