Indigenous Words: A Book Club and Creative Writing Series

First Tuesday, 6:30 p.m.

Storytelling is an important cultural element in many Indigenous communities which has expanded to encompass all kinds of tellings. In this series, we will explore 3 different works of fiction by Indigenous writers and use each book to explore different worldviews and identities.

Each discussion will be moderated by a creative writing student and will include generative writing prompts, sharing, and discussion.

First Tuesday of each month at 6:30 pm in the Large Meeting Room. You can also join on zoom:  https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82973724194
