My session today is with David Smith – The First Nation Storyteller living in Saint John. David shared his journey of becoming a storyteller two years ago, leaving his previous job. The aim was to bring an indigenous flavor to Saint John, an area he felt lacked such activity and visibility. He shared his unique perspective, having grown up off-reserve and later realizing the differences in his worldview. He shared that his storytelling had been well-received and had led to unexpected opportunities, including referrals and invitations from companies. He expressed surprise at the level of support he received and noted the potential for networking.
