About Me:: Debra Morningstar-Oneida Storyteller-Yukhika-l’atuhse? (She tells us stories)
is an enrolled member of the Oneida Nation of WI, has presented her storytelling programs, residencies, keynotes, and Healing workshops across the country and Canada for the past 23 years.

Debra joyfully tells the “traditional” stories of The First People of "Turtle Island!" (North America) by artfully blending Native flute, traditional songs and drumming into her performances…

It is her hope that she honors the Spirit of her ancestors by sharing her culture through education and storytelling.

Debra recently released a CD collection of Traditional Stories called “Tales From the Lodge.”

How the Rainbow Came to Be:

Where Stars Come From:

The Iroquois Legend of the Cornhusk Doll:

A "Sampler" of Some Native American Children's Stories:

I think that I will get my arm out of the sling this week and being to add strength exercises to the mobility exercises for my arm during therapy sessions. If I can't begin to move my arm soon - I will need mental therapy also. People have no idea how hard it is for a hyperactive storyteller to share stories with only one arm. I hope you are in good health and able to share a lot of tales during this time of holiday celebrations. Wishing you well, Mike Lockett

I have been feeling a little puny lately and haven't been keeping up too much with all our new friends on PS. Looks like you have been busy posting. I am sure you have joined some of the groups. This is a great site for storytellers.

At 6:21pm on September 6, 2008, Mike Lockett said…: Hello you lovely Oneida storyteller... Just got back from tour # 4 of Taiwan - Released a new book there - The Basics of Storytelling - But can't read it - It's all in Chinese... Hope to get it into print here some time soon. Also released a new storytelling DVD for young listeners - Cover is in Chinese - but all the stories are in English - including a written version of each story inside the DVD case.

Hope your telling in Milwaukee wend well. I will be in a small town about 30 minutes from there in about 4 weeks. Wishing you well in all your endeavours.
Mike Lockett (Yay Yay Mike - Over in Taiwan the audiences called me Ye Ye - pronounced yay yay - meaning father of my father - or "Grandpa Mike")

Although only 1/8 Cherokee - I know how revered the term "grandfather" is when used with someone outside the family in Native American Cultures. It's like that there also - a lot of love for Ye Ye Mike - the storyteller. You know - getting old does have some perks!

Welcome to Professional Storyteller. Thank you for all your messages. Sorry I have been tardy in my replies. I have been traveling soooo much and recently had a death in the family (father-in-law) so life has been a little crazy for me lately. Not to mention the book deadlines!!! Anyway, congratulations on your nomination for your CD. I am proud of you! Best wishes always!

Warmly,
Dianne
