Cherokee Days 2016 - Storyteller Robert Lewis 1

Cherokee National Treasure, storyteller Robert Lewis, talks about growing up, his family, how he got into telling traditional stories. He tells one story about Rabbit and Possum looking for a wife, and how Rabbit's trickery leads to Possum's appearance. He tells another story about Fox and Crawdad (crayfish) and why it is important to share. This is the first of three storytelling performances by Robert Lewis for the day. The performance was webcast and recorded in the Potomac Atrium of the National Museum of the American Indian on June 10, 2016.

Robert Lewis is a Cherokee National Treasure and is always a pleasure to visit with! One of the friendliest men you'll ever meet and always has a smile on his face. My students were fortunate to meet and listen to him in my classroom and enjoyed every minute he was there.
