STORYTELLING DINNER
Bearded Turtle
makes New Year’s visit to Corner House
Inn
Peter
Brodeur, aka Bearded Turtle,
appears at the Corner House
Inn’s Storytelling Dinner
Program on Thursday, January
17th. Corner House audiences
know Peter as a teller of
American Indian stories. Peter
started telling American Indian
legends while working as a tour
guide at the Mt. Kearsarge
Indian Museum.
Encouraged by other storytellers
Peter uses storytelling to help
preserve an oral tradition that
is 10,000 years old. Although
most of his ancestors came from
the Old World there is a thread
connecting Peter to the "People
of the Dawn" and storytelling is
a way of keeping that connection
alive. For as a Mic Mac elder
once taught Peter "A story is
only a story if it is told."
Peter has recently started
working on telling some personal
or family stories, remembering
the stories his father would
tell sitting around the table
after supper. Peter has shared
his stories at festivals and
pow-wows as well as at schools
and libraries and any other
venue that will let him tell.
Peter is state liaison for the
National Storytelling Network,
founding member and vice-
president of the New Hampshire
Storytelling Alliance, a member
of the League for the
Advancement of New England
Storytellers, and a member of
the Central New Hampshire
Storytelling Guild.
Storytelling Dinners are held
every Thursday evening at the
Corner House in Center Sandwich
from late October through May.
The Dinner begins at 6:30 PM and
the cost is only $19.95 per
person. For more information and
