Award-winning author, poet, playwright and community arts activist Marcie Rendon will be at the Wadena City Library on Monday, April 20th at 1pm.
Her work has earned numerous honors, including the McKnight Foundation’s Distinguished Artist Award, the Pinckley Prize for Debut Crime Fiction, WLA Children’s Book Award, and the Minnesota Book Awards.
As a member of the White Earth Nation, Rendon has dedicated much of her work to amplifying Native voices and stories. She is widely known for her award-winning Cash Blackbear mystery series, which features a young Ojibwe woman as the protagonist. The series has received national recognition for its compelling storytelling and rich cultural perspective.
“As Native people, we have known that in order to survive we had to create, re-create, produce, re-produce. The effect of the denial of our existence is that many of us have become invisible…However, not (everyone) can still that desire, that up-welling inside that says sing, write, draw, move, be… we can sing our hearts out, tell our stories, paint our visions…we are in a position to create a more human reality…”, Rendon states on her website marcierendon.com.
This Legacy Program is funded in part or in whole with money from the vote of the people of Minnesota on November 4, 2008, which dedicated funding to preserve Minnesota’s Arts and Cultural Heritage.
