Native America Calling: Traditional love stories
Friday, February 14, 2025

Traditional love stories
There’s more Valentine’s Day than flowers and chocolates in heart-shaped boxes.

Yup’ik storyteller Yaari Walker is thinking about the unique account of her own wedding and how it turned into a cultural lesson. She also thinks back about her grandmother’s arranged marriage, and the message that relationship continues to convey.

Join Native America Calling to hear those and other selections of traditional and contemporary stories about love by experienced Native storytellers.
