Ed told his stories with Porcupine at a gathering uniting WOTE (Wisdom of the Elders, Inc.), IWOK (Indigenous Ways
of Knowing Project) and NISA (Northwest Indian Storytellers Association). (That's Mary Priester in the background, helping
to keep the story rolling, as taught by Ed.) The event took place at Lewis & Clark College, May 15. Ed is
also seen giving daughter, Se-ah-dom Edmo (Program Director of IWOK) a hug as she enjoys the warmth of a gifted blanket.
The event included the honoring of members, storytellers and volunteers, great food provided by Se-ah-dom, singing
and dancing, as well as the music of Nico Wind Cordova and William Ward. Ed's storytelling was the usual hit of the evening!
