About this event
One of 4 upcoming events at Institute For American Indian Studies.
Wednesday, October 28 7:00PM Virtual Discussion Looking to expand your reading list and discuss a variety of issues and topics important to Native people? Please join our virtual book club, “As They Speak: Native Voices in Today’s Literature.” Based on a variety of topics and featuring a range of genres, all of the books we will be reading have been written by contemporary authors. This month, we’re reading Sisters of the Lost Nation by Nick Medina (Tunica-Biloxi Tribe). In this atmospheric and poignant debut novel, a young Native girl’s hunt for answers about the women mysteriously disappearing from her tribe’s reservation leads her to delve into the myths and stories of her people, all while being haunted herself. Part gripping thriller and part mythological horror, the author spins an incisive and timely novel of life as an outcast, the cost of forgetting tradition, and the courage it takes to become who you were always meant to be.
