Native Storytelling: The ECHO Project
Performances |
|

Native artists from Alaska, Hawai'i, and Massachusetts perform an original piece infused with oral tradition, dance, and music of each of their regions. The piece considers how our cultures and foodways have changed over time and the effects those changes have had on our lives.
The ECHO (Education through Cultural and Historical Organizations) Project is a performing arts collaboration. ECHO's 2009 Performing Arts Festival addresses food as survival, community builder, cultural marker, and source of comfort.
