'Storytelling & Song' return to Chandler resort

Sheraton Grand at Wild Horse Pass welcomes back its annual "Storytelling & Song" program.

According to a news release, it's a tradition that brings the heritage of the Pima (Akimel O'otham) and Maricopa (Pee Posh) peoples to life through verbal narratives and music.

Available for restaurant and resort guests, this complimentary experience begins Nov. 18 and continues Tuesdays through Saturdays, weather permitting, from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. until Feb. 14, 2026.

Honoring cultural customs that reserve storytelling for the winter season, each one-hour session invites guests to gather around the resort’s outdoor fire pit for an intimate journey into the history and wisdom of the Gila River Indian Community, according to a news release.

Tribal members will share ancestral legends rooted in the Sonoran Desert landscape, personal narratives from their lives on tribal lands and traditional songs passed down through generations.

Murals on the premises illustrate the heritage of the Gila River Indian Community, complemented by artwork crafted by community members and displayed throughout the property. The resort itself is designed in the shape of a bird -- with a river flowing throughout  --that holds cultural significance.
