For countless generations, Indian children have sat spellbound at the feet of a skilled storyteller listening to tales about the adventures and antics of creatures, superheroes, and supernaturals. Told and retold, the stories entertain, they educate, and they transfer the elder generation's cultural and moral knowledge to the young.

In 1953 Helen Cordero created her first clay storyteller figurine at Cochiti Pueblo. She fashioned the figure after her Grandfather, a respected storyteller. "He would put us on his lap or wherever we could sit. He was a great storyteller" says Cordero. "His eyes are closed because he is thinking; his mouth is open because he is singing or telling stories."

looks like a very big figure. Funny: he seems sleeping in telling and the small children are weak and playing: nice!
