What the Ancestors Say: Storytelling & Traditional Dance Performance
Advertisement
Join Odawa Anishinaabe writer Sierra Biidaaban Nadeau, author of the new book What the Ancestors Say, for an afternoon of storytelling, conversation, and celebration.
An award‑winning journalist, Sierra will reflect on how her reporting on Michigan’s Indian boarding schools grew into a sweeping journey through her own family’s history, the memories of survivors, and intergenerational Native resilience. The program will begin with traditional Anishinaabek drum & song and conclude with an author meet‑and-greet and book signing. For adults.
Special thanks to the Grand Rapids Public Library Foundation and Wege Foundation for their support of this program.
