Storytellers
Sunny is a storyteller from the Four Corners region of the Southwest and is a part of the Chi Chil' Tah community. Her traditional stories have been passed down the through her matrilineal clan, the Saltwater People, for generations. She is the the first to interpret them for a broader audience. She shares her clan’s stories with rich cultural, traditional and historical context so that they may be appreciated and better understood. Diné is her first language and she uses this strength to tell the Origin and Creation Stories of the Diné people.
A third-generation storyteller, Teddi attributes her storytelling talents to her Laguna grandfather, HuWaka, and her Apache father Desoose. Her oral stories have given her spiritual guidance and understanding of the two glorious nations, the Anasasi and Deneh.
Adam Teller grew up in Canyon De Chelly and became its youngest tour guide at 13. Traditional Stories of Diné have been a way to enlighten Navajo people to respect nature and clanship. Storyteller Adam Teller personally believes in the power of stories to change hearts and inspire us all to bring more beauty and creativity to anywhere we call home. |
