Native American storyteller opens MOSAIC

MOSAIC, the only annual display of multicultural literature in Nebraska, opens Monday, October 11, at the Lincoln Public Schools (LPS) District Office located at 5901 O Street. The event, which runs through Friday, November 19, is open from 7:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. The public is invited!
This year, MOSAIC will kick-off with Matthew Sitting Bear Jones on Monday, October 11 at 4:15 p.m. The event will be staged at the Lincoln Public Schools District Offices. It is free and open to the public.
Sitting Bear Jones is a Kiowa/Otoe-Missouria Indian of Oklahoma and has been involved in the rich oral tradition of storytelling for more than two decades. He tells the stories, tales and legends of the Kiowa’s vision of the world from the time of Creation to the coming of the white man. Attired in native dress, Sitting Bear Jones acquaints audiences with the thinking and customs of the Kiowa people.
“The name Set-Angia (Bear Who Sits or Sitting Bear) was given to me by my grandfather. It is a custom of my people that when a newborn is brought into the world, the parents go to someone they respect and ask that person to name their newborn child,” Sitting Bear Jones explained. “My parents went to my grandfather and presented him with tobacco and asked him to give me a name. He accepted the tobacco and said he would be honoured to name his new grandson.”
Sitting Bear Jones spent his childhood on his parents’ Indian reservations in Oklahoma. After high school graduation, he joined the United States Army and was sent to the Republic of Vietnam, where he served two tours with the 229th Assault Helicopter Battalion, 1st Air Cavalry Division from 1968 to 1970.
“When I came back to the United States, I went to college and got an Associate of Artsfrom Haskell Indian Junior College, a Bachelor's degree from Wichita State University, and a Master's degree from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) in anthropology and adult education. In 1986, I went to work for Nebraska Public Television where I distributed public television programs to schools, colleges and universities.”
After 10 years, Sitting Bear Jones became an adjunct professor at UNL.
