Everyone who lives on Vashon, no matter how young or old, has had an amazing experience with birds: a song so sweet it melts your heart, a majestic heron sweeping over the water in the early dawn light, or the screech of an owl hunting in the depths of a windy night.
Stories of the Salish First Nations show us how to know birds as powerful messengers of the sacred, like Raven who discovered the first tiny, frail humans hiding in a clam shell and brought down the sun, moon and stars to give us light and fire so we might survive!
Join Māori storyteller Amelia Butler as she shares beautiful ancient tales of birds from her homeland of New Zealand and inspires us to draw on our own experiences to create stories of the bird beings we know and love.
Tuesday, March 11th from 6:00-7:30 pm at the Vashon Land Trust Building.
All ages welcome! Freewill donations appreciated.
