Detailed explanation-1: -Native American Culture Instead of using a written language to document their history, these indigenous people simply relied on their verbal language to share their history, customs, rituals and legends through vivid narratives. These powerful tales are often told by the tribal elders to the younger generations.
Detailed explanation-2: -Although American Indian stories provide entertainment, their primary purpose is to educate. There may be a given time, place, and person to tell a given story. Oral histories and other special kinds of stories were often the prerogative of particular families, elders, chiefs, and medicine people.
Detailed explanation-3: -All of these current challenges-lack of educational opportunity, physical and mental health disparities, the intense impact of historical trauma, lack of economic independence-are part of the great tragedy facing Native Americans: the loss of Native American culture and identity.
Detailed explanation-4: -The role of the Storyteller goes beyond entertainment. The Storyteller holds the cultural wisdom of the people and keeps it alive for the next generation. Everyone can tell a story, but few are called to the role of Storyteller.
