March 15, 2019 - Thanks to the Mariposa Storytelling committee, Native American Storyteller Dovie Thomason entertained students in all grade levels at Sierra Foothill Charter School, as well as Catheys Valley Preschool children, on March 14. The teaching tales of Ms. Thomason's Lakota and Plains Apache relatives came alive in her listeners imaginations as she shared her culture with understanding, humor, and vocal transformations. A former teacher, Ms. Thomason is an NEA and Arts International recipient, Wordcraft Circle of Native Writers' Traditional Storyteller of the Year and was honored with the National Storytelling Network's 2007 Circle of Excellence Award. Ms. Thomason performed in two assemblies - one for the older students and another for the younger. Students very much enjoyed her stories.
