I insisted that we drive to several places on the beach to look for him There was NO sign of Donny! 1 made the others miserable by worry ing about him all the way back to Pembroke I was REALLY relieved when he got home later that night! 37 Years Old Now I find it hard to believe that Donny would havcturncd.37 on Saturday. if lie had not been killed (along with his father, brother, and our friend Junioc) in the collision three years later.

D/rector^, J In past segments we have been looking into Abenaki storyteller Joseph Bruchac's pathway to good storytelling. We have covered three of the four steps: listening, observing and remembering. These are integral elements in every good story that has ever been told in every culture around the world. But none of these first three would get the story told. It takes the fourth: sharing. According to Bruchac, "this is the part that brings it all together." Bruchac argues that in order to get on to this final part of the storytelling circle, you have to decide whether you actually like telling stories. Virtually everyone has some story they might tell about their own experience or their family history. But not everybody is comfortable sharing their stories with others. It takes someone who enjoys doing it to make the storytelling effective and entertaining. For those who decide they want to share with others through story telling, Bruchac offers some suggestions on how to do it well: "When you chose a story to tell, make sure the story is right for you. Ask yourself a few simple questions: Why do I want to tell this story? What do I like about it? If someone asked me what the story is about, could I explain it? Can I really see thjs story when I tell it? If you can answer those questions, that story may be right for you. "You can also ask yourself about the right time to tell the story. A good storyteller knows more than one story and will choose a story that is right for the moment That moment might be a public performance or a time when you need to communicate something to someone else.... Again, ask yourself some questions: Is this a story my audience will understand? ...How do I hope my audience will respond to this story? A story is like a walk on a familiar path. You know all the landmarks. You know where it begins, and you know where to turn at the right times. But you don't remember every single step you take. People sometimes make the mistake of thinking they have to memorize every word to tell a story. Memorizing a story word-for-word is not the way that professional storytellers do it. Instead, they know the heart of the story and then tell it in their own words. Try to see the story as you tell it." Thus storytelling seems to be, in Bruchac's model, not so much what you do as it is how you do it. It requires listening, observing, remembering and sharing, but the process is j ust as important in effecti ve storytelling as is the story itself. The storyShould flow from the storyteller's heart and vision into the listener's heart and vision. Bruchac also points out that a common mistake of beginning storytellers is hurrying through the story. It is though they were afraid they might not remember all of it, so they have to rush through to the end. It is better to take your time and let the story unfold, pausing occasionally for effect ? maybe to let people laugh; maybe to build suspense; maybe just to let your audience absorb what you have already said. This doesn't mean that you should intentionally tell the story slowly, only that adjusting the pace of the story can make it more I entertaining. All of these things, and B ruchac' many other hints, can produce belter I sharing of the story and thus a better 1 storytelling experience for everyone I involved. The bookTellMeATale: A I BookAbout Storytelling is full of ideas I and stories which make it a very I worthwhile addition to any family's I library. HereisonemoreofBruchac's I stories: "In the early 1700s, a Quaker I missionary met with a group of Native I Americans on Long Island. He wanted I to teach them about God. They I listened carefully to what he said to I them. Then he asked them a question. I 'Brothers,' he said, 'do you also I believe in God?' "'Yes,'they said. Thenoneofthe I Indians smoothed the earth with his I left hand, took a stick, a drew a circle. I 'This is Menitto,' he said. 'This is the I Great Spirit.' "'I do not understand,' said the I Quaker missionary. 'Explain this to I me.' "'Menitto,' the Indian man said, I 'is all eye. Menitto sees everything, I even into our hearts. We cannot see I Menitto, but we are always in the sight I of the Great Spirit His circle is all I around us. All of us are within the I circle of the eye of the Great Spirit.' I "The Quaker missionary nodded 1 his head. 'I see that circle,'he said. 'I understand.'"

A Look at Catawba Nation Foods Revealed ... i.p, .1 by Study of the Language 1 In no particular order, lei us look at the foods and meals that the people of the Catawba Nation ate, as revealed by the study of their language. (The last speakers of that language spoke two dialects, Catawba and Chcraw. This is according to the unpublished researchofDr Frank T. Sicbcrt He has explained his argument to me. and I accept it.) One has to cat the food In May 1918 Dr. Swanton heard, oruhc reservation, of utensils carv ed from dogwood and cedar. These utensils were spoons (uooksay). long trays and other dishes. He heard of all kind of corn (koos)-rcd corn, white corn, yellow corn, blue corn and popcorn, as Well as corn with red stripes, called strawberry corn. He heard of native beans (noonchay) thai were black with white spots, the si/c of lima beans; and of native tobacco (oomP A) four feet tall with broad leaves. It is not clear that any of this was still around when Dr. Swanton made his visit As for specific dishes, the Catavvbas told him of cakes squcc/cd from hominy and cooked beans, to be dipped in a dish of gravy (people would sit in a circle around the dish of gravy) and called koosta nochaypaycho Also they told him of cornnical dough cooked on a short smooth board in front ofthc houscfirc and sometimes enriched by adding I de-seeded d persimmons, and called koosla i-pitce kiysa ikta. There was lalkalsoofcornmcaldoughandbcans 1 in cornhusks cooked in a pot (TOOsu PAsay) over the fire. The people I spoke of roasted dough, of pcrsim- |j mon seed cofTce. and of dried beef and boiled meat: also of shelled corn I boiled over a fire. Conrbrcad some- 1 times had cream corn in it. 1 Three do/cn years before that, in Dccembcrof 1881. Dr. Gatschctvis- I iled the Catawba Reservation. Al that lime the people told him of meat boiled on the coals and of dried pumpkin and Catawba bread Flour wascallcdkoosscRAGhocor "maizcgrass dust"- wheal dust, they said. Finally. Dr Speck visited the res- I en at ion many times from 1021 to I 1044 He heard also about the dried pumpkin (WaTAByiRAY). ofbroiling meat on the coals, of cooked eel. cooked rabbit, and fried crayfish He was told that one should not mi \ deer meat and turkey meat in one pot Besides thccornmcal (koosc Mlrni). bean-meal (nooCHAY mi-mi) and. of course, cornbrcad and of pemmican (wccdYatilihuray) This article was written on Sharvot, which celebrates the harvesting of the wheat.
