Description

Native American Jemez Made Storyteller with 7 Children by Joyce Lucero

Fabulous storyteller by Joyce Lucero from Jemez, NM. The woman is sitting, telling stories to the children about their cultural history. The six children sit on her lap, one holding a drum, one climbing over her shoulder. 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.
