Native American storytelling in Kent on Nov. 2

Published 1:09 pm Thursday, October 10, 2013

Two Northwest Coast Native storytellers will speak at 12:30 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 2, at First Christian Church, 11717 S.E. 240th St., in Kent.

Ravenspeaker, of Kent, and Solana Rose Booth will share stories with the audience about Native Americans as part of their Natives Rising, a group dedicated to improving the lives and prospects for American Indian youth.

People can attend the storytelling for free. A collection will be taken to benefit Natives Rising. Participants also are asked to bring a plate of their favorite dish for the potluck lunch.

Booth and Ravenspeaker plan to generate goodwill and support for their dream and to excite a new generation of people to a very old and culturally significant art form.
