Dovie Thomason
Native American Storyteller

Dovie Thomason first heard the voices of the Animal People, Tricksters, and Heroes in the stories of her Lakota and Kiowa Apache relatives. With understanding and sly humor, she has spent a lifetime joining those voices to share wise, boisterous teaching tales with audiences globally. For over twenty years, Dovie Thomason has shared her gift with school audiences.
She was one of Connecticut’s original Master Teaching Artists, listed by state arts councils nationally, and recognized as a Master Traditional Artist by the NEA. She is a three-time winner of the ALA Notable Recording Award, Wordcraft Circle of Native Writer’s Traditional Storyteller of the Year 2002, and a respected presenter at major festivals and conferences.
