English

Native American Storytelling Circles are an important traditional custom in the culture of Native Americans. These circles are usually held during community or tribal gatherings, where people sit together and share stories, legends, fables, and historical events passed down through generations. These stories not only entertain but more importantly, they transmit culture and values, educate younger generations, and cultivate their sense of collective identity and reverence for nature. The storytellers are usually elders or respected members of the tribe. They tell stories vividly with expressive language and rich body language, making the listeners feel as if they were there. The content of the stories covers the history of the tribe, heroic figures, the mysteries of nature, and the philosophy of harmonious coexistence between humans and nature, reflecting the unique worldview of Native Americans. These storytelling circles provide an important social platform for community members, enhancing their connections and strengthening group cohesion. In modern society, Native American Storytelling Circles still play an important role. They not only preserve ancient cultural heritage, but also contribute to the cultural revival and social development of Native American communities. The storytelling circles have become a bridge connecting the past and the future, and a window for Native Americans to communicate and interact with the outside world, promoting cultural understanding and mutual respect.
