Press release: The Guild is looking forward to an exciting and unique opportunity for our annual Earth Day concert. On April 17, we will bring together Native and non-Native storytellers at the recently constructed Duwamish Longhouse in West Seattle for an inspiring afternoon concert open to the public for whatever donation they can offer. No one will be refused for lack of funds. All will share an experience together that honors Native people not only as the original storytellers of our art, but also as the oldest and most significant stewards of our environment. An audience of Native and non-Native communities will come together in a cross-cultural celebration of the natural world: its wonders, its secrets, and its meaning in our lives.

Johnny Moses was raised in the Tulalip community, and has become fluent in a total of eight local Native languages. He is a celebrated master storyteller and medicine healer who shares the knowledge and richness of his spiritual and cultural traditions across the U.S. and Canada.

Roger Fernandes is a member of Lower Elwha Band of the Klallam Indians from the Port Angeles area of Washington. Raised and residing in Seattle, Roger came to storytelling through the stories of Native visual art, which he continues to practice alongside his work in storytelling.

Eva Abram is a professional member of the Seattle Storytellers Guild. She tells multicultural folktales and historical stories throughout the region, and has been a featured Humanities Washington presenter for her engaging programs on the Civil Rights Movement and African folktales.

Jordan Keith is the Founder and Director of the Urban Wilderness Project, blending her multiple identities as poet, naturalist, educator, and storyteller together perfectly. Jourdan has received numerous honors for her poetry and stories, which blend the textures of political, personal and natural landscapes to offer voices from the margins of American lives.
