March 7, 7:30 pm and March 8, 10 am – 3:00 pm | 听(American Indian Studies)
The Department of American Indian Studies at the 91视频 hosts an annual literary and storytelling series. Sacred Breath features Indigenous writers and storytellers sharing their craft at the beautiful w菨色菨b蕯altx史 Intellectual House on the UW Seattle campus. Storytelling offers a spiritual connection; a sharing of sacred breath. Literature, similarly, preserves human experience and ideals. Both forms are durable and transmit power that teaches us how to live. Both storytelling and reading aloud can impact audiences through the power of presence, allowing for the experience of the transfer of sacred breath as audiences are immersed in the experience of being inside stories and works of literature.
