Dovie Thomason, one of the most respected and admired storytellers of her generation, cherishes being described as a river, fed by many streams. She draws deeply from all of those influences: Lakota, Apache, and Scot Traveller descent, Indigenous elders and Internet, kitchen-table wisdom and classrooms, urban Chicago and rural Texas, quarter-acre gardens and world travels. Dovie began as a teller of the old stories, absorbed from her Grandma, which garnered her devoted listeners of all ages. She also creates stories that weave untold histories, memories, and imaginings into captivating and thought-provoking explorations of family, community, and relationships.

She is an NSN ORACLE Circle of Excellence award recipient. 

“Her vibrant storytelling meets listeners heart to heart.”  – Smithsonian
