Beauval Library hosting Indigenous Storytelling Month virtual sessions
The Beauval Public Library is hosting a series of virtual storytellings during February in recognition of Indigenous Storytelling Month.
The month shines a spotlight on aspects of Indigenous culture through oral communication, an intergenerational tradition in Indigenous culture.
Beauval Librarian Carol Edquist said the occasion has been well-received by the community in the past, and is optimistic that the virtual settings will receive a similar reception this time around.
“I think it means a lot to the community,” Edquist said. “Last year, we had Indian Ernie come in and do a presentation, and the response we got was really good. So we’re hoping this year that the response for the virtual storytelling are just as good as the ones we did in the school and the community hall.”
