Storytelling Repition Quotes

“Long ago, our ancestors understood that the brain is driven to tell stories and passed along our culture and traditions in that way. For instance, older people like to tell stories over and over again, and young children like to hear stories repeated often. There is a lock-and-key mechanism for transmission of oral culture across generations.”
― Mary Annette Pember, Medicine River: A Story of Survival and the Legacy of Indian Boarding Schools
