Native Stories

About this Event

Levi “Levee” Montoya, has Native American ancestry, including Navajo, Paiute, Jicarilla Apache, and Tewa Pueblo heritage. Although he was not raised in Native traditions, his 40-year career with the USDA NRCS allowed him to work closely with Tribal communities across the United States as a Tribal Liaison and instructor on Native relations. For over 30 years, Levi has devoted himself to Native spiritual traditions as a storyteller, flint knapper, drummer, flute player, Sundance participant, and Sacred Pipe carrier, helping preserve and share Native cultural practices. His program will feature native storytelling, flute, drumming, and dancing.
