Released on February 2, 2021
Beginning February 2, 2021, the Royal Saskatchewan Museum is proud to launch a new video series that celebrates Indigenous Storytelling Month. To celebrate this month Elder Hazel Dixon and Joely BigEagle-Kequahtooway have recorded 14 Indigenous stories to share with the people of Saskatchewan. These stories will be presented through the Royal Saskatchewan Museum’s social media and YouTube channels.
Traditionally, storytelling was an important source of entertainment and education during the long nights of the winter months. In southern Saskatchewan, the month of February in Cree is mikisiwipîsim for the Eagle Moon and for Cree speakers in the north it is the Great Moon or kisîpîsim.
“This video series provides a meaningful way for Elders and storytellers to share their culture and teachings with a larger audience,” Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Laura Ross said. “The Royal Saskatchewan Museum is the perfect medium that will allow all people of Saskatchewan to learn about Indigenous culture through oral history and imaginative stories.”
This video series runs every other day for the month of February and was developed by the Royal Saskatchewan Museum in partnership with Graffiti TV, SaskCulture and the Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation.
