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.
