Abstract
In recent times, the growing recognition of the significance of indigenous storytelling extends beyond its role as a cultural repository, encompassing its potential as a wellspring of ecological and ethical insights. In this era of rapid change and globalization, understanding and appreciating the role of indigenous storytelling becomes all the more essential. It serves as a crucial reminder that, beyond the visible diversity of languages, customs, rituals, and traditions, there exists a profound shared heritage woven through narratives that have sustained these communities for ages. This study examines indices of indigenous environmental protection in Sarah Joseph’s Gift in Green (2011). The central focus of this study lies in the portrayal of storytelling nights within the narrative, arguing that storytelling not only serves as a vital instrument for cultural preservation but also manifests as an expression of environmental consciousness. Thus, this study, through a close reading of Sarah Joseph’s text unravels the transformative influence of cultural performances within indigenous communities, elucidating their role in nurturing ecological awareness and fostering sustainable practices.
