Tony Incashola, Director, Salish-Pend d’Oreille Culture Committee, will be in Hamilton on Saturday, January 30 at 2 p.m. to tell Salish Winter Stories (which may only be told in winter when the weather keeps us inside). The event is free to all. Stories may include how local landmarks (such as Sleeping Child Hot Springs) got their names, coyote trickster and Salish creation stories. If El Nino appears and the weather is warmish, Tony will tell about the Bitterroot Salish people in the valley before settlers came.
Last year’s event was extremely well-received with more than 80 people in attendance, with many requesting for the event to be held again in the winter of 2016.
Salish Story Telling is sponsored by the local non-profit group, Sleeping Child Hot Springs for All, with a grant from Humanities Montana.
The free Story Telling will take place at River Street Dance Theater, River and N. 2nd Streets, in Hamilton. Free refreshments and beverages will follow.
