The storyteller's job is the second story we can see in this painting. This story is the hardest one to see. It's the story of how this painting came to be made. The artist who painted Story Teller was named Velino Shije Herrera. He was a Pueblo Indian.
Pueblo is the Spanish word for town or village.
For years and years, the towns the Pueblo people lived in didn't change very much, and the way they lived in them didn't change much either. They sang the same songs, danced the same dances, and told the same stories that they always had. But some things had changed, and one of them was the way the Pueblo Indian artists painted. He learned to use gouache in school, during art classes set up by the government. The teachers in these classes showed their students new kinds of art supplies.
