Slow and Steady Wins the Race: Stor E Telling July August 2007

Hare and Tortoise
by
Arthur Rackham, 1923
I have penned the Stor E Telling column since January of 2002 and the articles from 2002-2006 are the publications page of my website found here http://www.storybug.net/stor-e-telling.html; all you just have to point and click.

I will be adding the columns from 2007 to 2012 to that page as well, but I am in the process of checking what link URL's have changed or are now defunct. It is a time consuming process so I am taking the “slow and steady” approach via Aesop and will post the individual columns on my blog for now.

I will not be adding current columns until the following year, so if you want immediate access to the newest websites, consider becoming a member of the
National Storytelling Network.

 
JULY AUGUST 2007

In keeping with the Oral History theme of this issue I offer some additional sites for the journey.

Do History
From Harvard University, a virtual how to on piecing together fragments of the past using primary resources; step-by-step guidelines are also provided.

Dying Tongues
“The language and the culture, you can't have one without the other. It's like trying to have life without water or life without air. It just can't be done.” The people of the Manda, Hidatsa and Arikara tribes of North Dakota have joined together to save their heritage and language from extinction. Learn about their culture through interviews, photos and early recordings.
