Abstract

Collector and storyteller Margaret Read MacDonald will present the results of interviews with ten tellers from varying cultures, demonstrating that they have many different reasons for adopting the social identity of storyteller, and that "traditional" is an elusive concept in the contemporary cosmopolitan world. She will discuss interviews with Liberian Won-Ldy Paye, Tibetan Rinjing Dorje, New Caledonian Leonard Sam, Upper Skagit Vi Hilbert, Chehalis Curtis DuPuis, Ghanaian Peter Pippin, Alaskan Lela Oman, Thai monk Pra Inta, Hawaiian Makia Malo, and Brazilian Roberto Carlos Ramos.
