Storyteller says teachers can help reduce conflict
Louis Bird, 79, never set out to be a storyteller. It’s hard to believe when you see him sitting on stage at the Daniels Spectrum centre in Regent Park, far from his traditional homeland, captivating his Toronto audience for almost two hours, pulling story after story from the hundreds in his repertoire.
Bird, with a sense of the Trickster about him, took his audience on a journey into the past, into the heartland of the Omushkego territory and into the heart and soul of his people.
