February marks the start of Aboriginal Storytelling Month
Over the next few weeks, Saskatchewan residents will have the opportunity to take in Indigenous stories, poetry readings and even cooking classes.
It’s all part of Aboriginal Storytelling Month which kicked off Monday.
The event is being held online and hosted by Library Services for Saskatchewan Aboriginal Peoples.
University of Saskatchewan assistant professor Randy Morin is one of the storytellers.
“We grew up listening to stories,” he said. “As you know, a lot of our stories are fantastical in nature. Our stories have shape shifting in them, time travel – magic almost. So, they were a way of using your imagination. They were an escape.”
