If there are any recordings of this story teller, are they available? Is there any place on line to hear Wolfsong??   That is a great memory of the family cuddling and huddling together listening to his stories. It sounds like we all could benefit from hearing his stories!!
Apparently he wrote a book called Stories of the Dawnland .

Here is an item about him and his memorial..

Wolfsong (Rickie Provencher)

    Wolfsong, (He Who Sings The Wolf Song) Abenaki Storyteller, Native American Cultural Presenter and Speaker, formerly of Burlington, and recently of Hardwick, Vt., passed over on Nov. 24, 2000. Wolfsong was born (Rickie Provencher) on April 25, 1953, in Middlebury, Vt. He was raised and educated in Addison, Vt.

    Wolfsong embraced his Abenaki heritage and since 1985 has been drawing audiences into a circle of sharing, laughter and wisdom by sharing the Ancient Voices of Native American traditional stories and legends throughout the United States and Canada. Wolfsong studied with Abenaki, Cherokee and Tuscarora Elders and Teachers. His lectures and stories reflected his innate respect for women, humanity's connection to the earth and the cyclical nature of life.

    He has appeared and shared his gifts in such places as the Flynn Theater, First Night and the Earth Peace International Film Festival and The Fleming Museum in Burlington, Indianapolis Children's Museum, Boston Museum of Art, Stratton Mountain Arts Festival, Journeys into American Indian Territory, Long Island, N.Y., Three Appes Festival in Harvard, Mass., Tsai Theater in Boston, Mass., St. Louis Storytelling Festival in St. Louis, Mo., The Appalachian Storytelling Festival in Pennsylvania, First Things First at the Peabody Museum in Salem, Mass., as well as in hundreds of schools, libraries, festivals, museums, Powwows in locations as far away as Nicaragua. He has been heard on Vermont Public Radio, New Hampshire Public Radio and WSNO. Due to his extensive knowledge of Native American history, Wolfsong was a featured lecturer on Native American culture, history and legends frequently at UVM and St. Michael's College and at many colleges and universities in the United States and Canada.

    Wolfsong's intent was to pass on the legacy and wisdom of his ancestors. As Wolfsong would say, "Our bones are made of the earth, the earth is made of our bones." He asked his audiences to remember that as they walk on this land, they are walking on the bones of our ancestors. Wolfsong's mastery of acquainting his audiences with the breadth, depth and inherent value of indigenous cultures will be long remembered. He believed it important for people to understand the legacy that Native Americans have and are giving to American Society. He believed that it was necessary to embrace the past to consciously choose and direct our future.

    Wolfsong shared his heart and time generously with all around him. His gift of laughter, love of life and his embrace and respect of the earth will never be forgotten. Wolfsong touched many people's lives and hearts, especially his family and friends. He was thankful for those who were a part of his walk, his family now says, "Wliwni" (thank you).

    A Native American service will be held on Thursday, Nov. 30, 2000, at the base of Snake Mountain. Those wanting to attend will meet at the Phillips residence at 271 Whitford Rd., Addison, Vt., at noon.
