More Book Launches,

Signings and Ober’s Island Film Premier in November

Minneapolis, Minnesota – Oct. 22, 2009 – It is our pleasure

to announce a few book signings, a film premier and our on-going reading series

for the month of November at Birchbark Books and Isles Deli, located at 2115

West 21st Street, in downtown Kenwood.

Oct. 22, 2009 at 7 p.m., Carleton professor Michael D.

McNally will be on hand to discuss his new book "Honoring Elders: Aging

and Authority in Ojibwe Religion." Using archival and ethnographic

research McNally follows the making of Ojibwe eldership, showing that deference

to older women and men is part of a fuller moral, aesthetic and cosmological vision

connected to the ongoing circle of life. He will also be presenting "Art

of Tradition: Sacred Music, Dance and Myth of Michigan" by Gertrude Kurath

and Jane Ettawageshik, edited by McNally.

November 6, 2009 at 7 p.m., Kent Nerburn will present his latest title "The Wolf at Twilight: An Indian Elder’s Journey Through a Land of Ghosts and Shadows".

November 11, 2009 at 7 p.m.  Featuring Alison Morse, Kathryn Kysar and Emily Johnson. Hosted by Michael Kiesow Moore. This on-going series features new, emerging and established writers presenting their work on the second Wednesday of each month, September through May. A prix fixe menu available at Isles Deli, 6:30 p.m. 

 

November 12, 2009 at 6:30 p.m., author Patti Hoolihan will present "Launching Your Teen into Adulthood." Using this thoughtful guide, parents can help older teens confidently navigate the issues and developmental transitions that will inevitably arise as they prepare to leave home.
