NORTHLANDS STORYTELLING NETWORK

INSPIRATION is what we do. CELEBRATION is how we do it.

Welcome to Northlands!

In 1978, five storytelling friends traveled together to the National Storytelling Festival in the "Southlands" of Jonesborough, Tennessee. Inspired by and celebrating story, these five friends formed an organization up "North." In forty-one years, Northlands has grown a membership, a conference and this website, bringing together a network of storytellers whose feet are planted in the heartlands of Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin but whose hearts reach wherever tales are told. We are friends to each other, friends to story and friends to our listeners.

Our mission remains true to our founders: Northlands inspires story artists to celebrate oral storytelling in all its diversity!
