Chukma (Hello).

I hope you all had a great summer and came to see me. More importantly I hope you said hello and we had a chance to meet.  As fall hits make sure you get outside and enjoy the changing colors and cooler air that Creator has provided us.

I had an incredible year and met met so many great people at several new festivals and events. I told in Dublin Ireland at ABAIR: Stoite St. Patrick’s Day festival,  the Chautauqua Institute in New York, the Timpanogos Storytelling Festival in Utah, the National Storytelling Festival in Tennessee, several new schools across America, and many of my annual festivals; the Oka Kapassa Native American Festival, the Moundville Native American Festival, JazzFest, and of course multiple schools and museums. 

I have a some exciting new festivals around the world coming up in 2027 that I can’t wait to tell you about.  My schedule is starting to fill up for 2027 so please book me ASAP.

Chapisa’ Lacho’.

I am a registered member of the Chickasaw Nation, an award-winning storyteller, artist, and a founding member of Hithla, a dance troupe practicing Southeastern traditional stomp dance. I perform in my regalia and explain why we wear what we wear and share some of our stories, language, history, and culture. I can create a program that fits any age group and any theme. I have the best job in the world, getting to share my stories and culture with the best people, festivals, universities, corporations, and museums around the world. 

I am glad you found me and look forward to hearing from, and working with you. Feel free to call me or email me if you need more information.

Chumaski (Thank-you),
Amy Bluemel

“Amy Bluemel is one of the best storytellers I’ve ever heard, of any genre. She has a deep respect for her cultural heritage and a unique way of connecting to audience members of all ages through not only the content of her stories, but her wonderful intonation, gestures, timing, and overall delivery. I have read a great deal over the years about the culture of Southeastern Native Americans, but hearing oral tradition presented so delightfully by Amy really helps to contextualize the material. I would not hesitate to recommend Amy Bluemel as a storyteller to anyone planning an event because more people need to hear her!” —Bill Bomar, Ph.D., Director of Museum Studies, The University of Alabama
