Do you like a good story? Then gather around, for the storyteller is about to begin...
Nootauau Kaukontuoh, “she hears it from him, the crow”, is a woman of the Eastern Woodlands. She lives her life in the tradition of the Nanhigganêuck, the people known today as the Narragansett.
She is a Storyteller of Longhouse Tales told in the oral tradition, including some with Native Sign Language. The involvement of listeners using call and response is very popular. She has twice been awarded publishing contracts for her book of poetry and is currently completing a Native children's novel. She brings to life the oral tradition at museums, schools, community centers, Indigenous gatherings and wherever the stories lead her.
Hears Crow is also an educator, published poet, and workshop leader. She is on the faculty at the Transformational Storytelling School, is the state liaison for Vermont to the National Storytelling Network, and a youth mentor through the Youth Storytellers Standing Together.
As a 'kuhkootomwehteâen' ('kuk-oot-om-weyt-e-ah-en' - one who shares knowledge), thirty-five plus years of telling in these different styles, she brings forth the culture of the Longhouse People, through their stories.
