The Wisdom of Storytelling
— Plains Indians Life, Beliefs and Practices —
Gathered as a group at night around the fire, the tribe used storytelling to draw the community closer together. In each story lay a lesson. A bit of wisdom for the younger tribal members to carry with them through life. To the Indians, storytelling represented communication, entertainment and education. Though often conveyed verbally, stories were recorded through symbols. This is an example of a traditional hunting story.| HM Number | HM12HS |
