Story Tellers: Two American Indian story tellers share ancient tales from the Dakotah and Ojibwa cultures in "The Elders Speak", a new release from Makoche, a division of Makoche Recording Company.

The Elders, Mary Louise Defender Wilson (Gourd Woman) and Francis Cree (Eagle Heart) share ten stories on the enhanced compact disc.

The stories speak of a land where the waters, buttes, stones, plants and animals reveal the lessons and origins of humanity. Cree shares the stories of "Sky Woman and the Great Flood", "The White Buffalo", "Holy Spirit" and "Nanabosho and the Dancing Ducks".

Defender Wilson's stories are "The Powerful Lake", "The Woman Who Turned Herself into a Stone", "Spiderman and the Giant" and "Coyote's Den Hill".
