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

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.

Help The Circle Recover & Preserve Native History

FIRE RECOVERY & ARCHIVE PRESERVATION FUND

A recent fire at the building housing The Circle’s office has created unexpected challenges for our independent Native newspaper.

Thankfully, with the help of community members, we were able to recover our newspaper archives dating back to the 1980s. These irreplaceable records preserve decades of Native community history, cultural knowledge, and stories.

Your donation will help The Circle recover from the fire, protect our historical archives, and continue sharing Native voices for generations to come.

Every contribution makes a difference.

Pinagigi — Thank you for helping preserve generations of Native stories.
