Territory Tellers - The Statewide Storytelling Organization of Oklahoma

The ONLY state-wide organization for storytelling in the state of Oklahoma, Territory Tellers was organized in the 1980's to encourage storytellers, introduce stories to a wide audience and to keep alive the rich storytelling tradition that was already alive and vital by 1907 statehood.

The logo is blending of the outline of the fair state of Oklahoma and the Native American dreamcatcher. So in that logo are the rich native traditions and stories of the states strong Native American heritage and added are all the ethnic groups and cultural heritages who have also made this land their home. As Oklahoma storytellers we share a rich and wise corpus of stories and motifs bringing color and flavor to the traditional tales we love and the perosnal experience tales we share.
