Traditional Crow storyteller Grant Bulltail will be honored this week in Washington, D.C., as one of the National Endowment for the Arts 2019 National Heritage Fellows.

Bulltail is one of 10 people selected to receive a fellowship this year, which includes a $25,000 award.

"The National Heritage Fellowships are the nation's highest honor in the folk and traditional arts," according to an NEA press release.

An awards ceremony attended by the NEA chairman Mary Anne Carter and members of Congress is set for Wednesday at 3:30 p.m. MST. On Friday at 6 p.m., Bulltail will be interviewed as part of a National Heritage Fellowships Concert. The concert will be available live online at www.arts.gov.

Bulltail has shared his stories at Little Big Horn College, state and national parks and at places of significance to the Crow people. Bulltail has also taught classes at Utah State University. The university is building a collection of his work.
