Perry Ground, a Turtle Clan member of the Onondaga Nation of the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) Confederacy, has been a master storyteller and cultural educator for over 25 years. His
engaging presentation appeals to people of all ages and enables him to teach about the history & culture of Native Peoples.
Filled with traditional Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) wisdom that has been told for hundreds of years, these stories reveal the beliefs, customs and history of the Haudenosaunee people.
Storyteller Perry Ground brings the legends to life through vivid descriptions, his rhythmic voice and a very active stage presence. Stories become ‘interactive’ as Perry often includes
audience members in the narration. Elements of traditional Haudenosaunee lifestyle and culture, pieces of historical information and lots of humor are woven into each story. Intended for all
listeners (young and old), everyone will find this presentation captivating, highly entertaining and very educational.
The program is funded in part by a grant from the Auburn Public Theater Regrants program and is free. Held in the Morgan Opera House above the Library.
