The Winter Solstice Begins a Season of Storytelling and Ceremony

As we did before the solar eclipse in August, this December we asked our Native friends to share traditions they’ve heard about the winter solstice. Traditional storytelling is reserved for the winter months for many tribes. It was in the winter, with the long dark evenings, the snow and wind blowing outside, that telling stories was a way to entertain and teach the children.
