Come learn about what science and storytelling have in common!

Join us to have fun and learn with storyteller Dovie Thomason! This program explores how the spirit of inquiry drives both storytellers and scientists to discover and explain the roots of natural phenomena like night and day, lightning and thunder, and the changing of the seasons.

About the Presenter: Dovie Thomason imagines herself as a river, fed by many streams: Lakota, Apache, and Scot Traveller ancestry, urban Chicago, rural Texas and international travels, the Internet and Indigenous elders, family teachings, kitchen table wisdom, and university classrooms — and draws on those contrasts and cultures in her work. Conveying these stories respectfully and responsibly is Thomason’s calling and has made her one of the most respected and admired storytellers of her generation. She has been featured at countless prominent global events, including the Kennedy Center, National Museum of the American Indian, the Smithsonian, Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre, and festivals from Tennessee to Estonia, New Zealand to New Mexico. You can find more about her on her website.
