Description

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

Classic storyteller by Chrislyn Fragua from Jemez, NM. The woman is telling stories of their cultural history to the toddler and the baby and they sing the stories with back. We are not sure if the little ones are 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.
