[Conceived] in the mid 1980s [when] Angela Sidney, one of the last speakers of the Tagish language, had to travel all the way to Toronto in order to tell her stories to a large audience. This prompted two Yukoners to organize the first storytelling festival in the Yukon in 1988. For the first festival, storytellers came from six countries on four continents and joined Yukon native elders to tell and sing stories in 23 different languages, 16 Native languages, Dutch, French, Danish, English, Norwegian, Icelandic, and Ukrainian. All storytellers were encouraged to tell in their first language, with a summary or full translation in English. Within two years, it had become an annual international festival, focusing on, but not restricted to, countries from the circumpolar world. 2, record 2, English, - Yukon%20International%20Storytelling%20Festival
