Alaska Storytellers, a local organization in Sitka, is gearing up for the summer season with storytelling trainings. The group aims to share the rich stories and culture of Alaska through various mediums, including dance performances like the one seen in the photo provided by Alaska Storytellers.
In a recent interview with KCAW’s Erin Fulton, Cynthia Gibson and Jazel Welkener discussed the mission of Alaska Storytellers and how Sitkans can participate in their upcoming trainings. The trainings are scheduled for April 8 and 15 at 5:30 p.m. at 124 Lincoln Street.
The goal of Alaska Storytellers is to provide a platform for individuals to share their unique stories and experiences with the community. Whether through dance performances, oral storytelling, or other creative expressions, the organization encourages all forms of storytelling.
Community members interested in getting involved are encouraged to attend the upcoming trainings to learn more about how they can participate in Alaska Storytellers’ events and activities. By sharing stories and traditions, the group aims to foster a deeper understanding and appreciation of Alaska’s diverse culture.
Those who are unable to attend the trainings can stay updated on Alaska Storytellers’ upcoming events and performances by following their social media channels and website. With a focus on inclusivity and cultural exchange, Alaska Storytellers is poised to make an impact in the local community and beyond.
