Ed Edmo
 

Ed Edmo learned to be a storyteller from his father, growing up at Celilo Falls in the Columbia River Gorge. At night his father told him Indian legends, many of them based on the geography, history, and culture of the area around the Falls. Edmo is an award-winning playwright and has been a consultant to the Smithsonian on Native American culture and folklore. He has worked with schools for 20 years and in arts education for ten.
