In partnership with the New Old Time Chautauqua, three Indigenous storytellers from the Olympic Peninsula share stories.
The storytellers include Harvest Moon, Mark Charles, and Professor Ron Johnson. Harvest Moon of the Quinault Indian Nation is a master basket weaver and storyteller who combines her skills and talents to create educational lectures for people of all ages, offering insights into the Coastal Salish Natives. Mark Charles is a drummer, dancer, cultural-bearer, and storyteller of the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe. Professor Ron Johnson is a Makah Historian with a gift for sharing stories and history.
The New Old Time Chautauqua (NOTC) is a community of performers, friends, and families who see live performance as a way to share friendship and wonder, and to build community through laughter, entertainment, and education. The NOTC summer tour is visiting Port Angeles the first week of July and will offer community service projects, workshops, parades, potlucks, and shows.
A small poster exhibit about the history of the Chautauqua movement will be on display at the Port Angeles Main Library from July 1–6.
This program is generously funded in part by local Friends of the Library groups.
