A Raven’s Feast of Stories
Come listen to the engaging stories told by Kung Jaadee, a Haida storyteller who has been sharing legends for over 30 years! She is from the Haida Nation and also has Musqueam, Squamish, Tlingit, Tsleil-Waututh, and Hawaiian roots.
Kung Jaadee will share some of her favourite tales about Raven (Yaahl), the trickster and creator, like Raven Brings the Light and Raven’s Feast—which is also one of her most popular children’s books! You’ll also hear the Squamish story of The Two Sisters, the mountains we know today as The Lions.
With her drum, Kung Jaadee will sing traditional Haida songs and even teach you some words in Xaad Kil, the Haida language. These fun and magical stories are filled with lessons about respect, responsibility, and how everything in the world is connected. Watch the video below.

Rave Reviews
You have an awesome singing voice, very talented. Thank you for sharing your rich culture with us. We are truly blessed for the opportunity to listen to your stories.
Four Stars. Kung Jaadee’s voice is well practised, an authoritative tone of high seriousness that she betrays with a whimsical grin, perfect for telling stories. She has the kind of voice that makes you want to curl up by the fire and learn, eyes up to the heavens looking for Raven overhead.
Raven causes magic…[Kung Jaadee’s] compelling delivery keeps her audience enraptured with these magical tales…a wonderful show, and perfect for two-leggeds of all ages.
