Sunset Story Hour on the Beach with Perry Ground Stories from the People of the Longhouse
Friday, July 4, 2025 07:30 PM - 08:30 PM
Bring a chair or a blanket and
gather on the beach at Thompson's Lake Campground to enjoy s'mores and
storytelling sponsored by the Friends of Thacher. Perry Ground tells
traditional Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) legends that have been told for hundreds
of years. These stories teach about the beliefs, customs, and history of the
Haudenosaunee people and continue to be an important part of Haudenosaunee
culture. The Storyteller will bring the stories to life through vivid
descriptions, his rhythmic voice, and a VERY active stage presence. These
stories become ‘interactive' as Perry includes volunteer audience members in
the stories. This program is also filled with historical information,
discussion about the art of storytelling, other elements of Haudenosaunee culture
and LOTS of humor. Audiences, young and old, will find this presentation
captivating, highly entertaining yet very educational. No registration
required.
