How did America get so big? Westward Expansion, that’s how! And if
you want to know what that means, you’d probably have to ask Thomas
Jefferson. Or Lewis and Clark. Or Sacajawea. Or maybe the ‘49ers. Or the
Mountain Men. Or the Pony Express riders. Or the transatlantic railroad
builders. Well, maybe we will. ‘Cause we’re StoryMakers and that’s what
we do! We’ll ask a few questions and get some answers, too!

began her career as a music therapist. As an artist, songwriter and singer,
she shares her story while inviting audiences to join her in an exploration
of self, healing and growth. Through stories, photos, film, ancestry and
genealogy research, and travels in the power of place, this performance
is a powerful, engaging experience, telling of one family’s beginnings and
legacy through storytelling and song.
