HAMAATSA
is a Pueblo Indian word referring to a time arriving "now" within an indigenous experience. A time and a place to start over again.
SLOW STORY regenerates the ancient cirlce of the consecrated storyteller and story-listener. Join Pueblo Elder/Master Storyteller, Larry Littlebird in real time encounters on his ancestral lands and various pilgrimage sites. Offered as an online series, this is an extraordinary opportunity for story listeners and storyworkers to experience tribal American orality through the portal of your computer.
"THE STORY is more than a reminder of humanity or a teacher of tribal ways. It is a thing that people hunger after. Need to remain alive. Like a natural portion of fresh water, clean air, good food. If the American air has gone strange, the water turned murky and the food become filled with unnatural additives, can you imaging how unhealthy the story told has become?"
