African Storytelling

As part of the Fred Yiran African Arts events, we have African Storytelling on Saturday, March 11th at the Great River Regional Library from 12:00 pm to 3:00 pm. Free and open to the public.

This is an African Storytelling event narrated by three Boys and Girls Clubs. They have chosen the following stories:

The Boy Who Wanted the Moon – Congo story told by the South Side Boys and Girls Club

Natiki – South African story told by the  East Side Boys and Girls Club

The Hunter and the Deer Woman – Nigerian story told by Roosevelt Boys and Girls Club

There will also be children oriented African drumming, and a culture tour of the Congo, South Africa, and Nigeria.

All human cultures have basically the same core traditional values expressed in different forms, different characters, through their folk tales.
