Dovie Thomason Sickles

Dovie Thomason Sickles is an award-winning storyteller, recording artist and author. As a child she learned old Indian stories from her Kiowa Apache and Lakota relatives, especially her grandmother and her father. She began telling stories “publicly,” while teaching literature and writing at an urban high school in Cleveland. In the twenty years since then, she has shared stories throughout North America and overseas: with NASA and Indian Education programs on reservations, Shakespeare’s “Globe Theatre” and the National Geographic Society, NPR’s “Living on Earth,” and the BBC’s “My Century,” cross-community programs in Northern Ireland, powwows, conferences, schools and libraries from Belgium to California. She has been a featured teller at major festivals and has had extended engagements at the Smithsonian’s Discovery Theater, Wolf Trap, the Kennedy Center, and the Geraldine R.
