Do You Have a Company of Story Tellers?
"When I was a child; my parents would
send me to stay overnight at my Native
American grandmother's place. She used
to repeat the same stories about Native
American Indians that she was told when
she was a child. Even now I remember
these stories by heart as though they were
told to me just yesterday."
From American Indian Folklore
