Joe and Jesse Bruchac
Seventy-five people gathered under the big tent on the Forge Motel knoll on Sunday, July 22, to listen to storytellers at the Old Forge Library’s annual Adirondack Storytelling Festival.
Native American storytellers, Joe Bruchac and his son, Jesse, entertained the audience with Abenaki legends and haunting melodies on a native flute.
