JOIN US FOR A SUMMER BOOK GROUP!

Facilitated by Rob Crandall

Starting June 18 at 6:00 p.m,
we will meet monthly (four times) at the Methow Valley Interpretive Center

Book: We Survived The Night by Julian Brave NoiseCat

Join us in a deep dive into this extraordinary book as we grow our understanding of what it means to live in the lands of the Coyote People. You don't have to register for the group, please just show up! And no need to have read the entire book before the first meeting. We will unpack sections of the book together over four monthly meeting times.

Book Summary: A stunning narrative from one of the most powerful young writers at work today--We Survived the Night interweaves oral history with hard-hitting journalism and a deeply personal father-son journey into a searing portrait of Indigenous survival, love, and resurgence. Told in the style of a "Coyote Story," a legend about the trickster forefather of NoiseCat's people who was revered for his wit and mocked for his tendency to self-destruct, We Survived the Night brings a traditional artform nearly annihilated by colonization back to life on the page. Through a dazzling blend of history and mythology, memoir and reportage, NoiseCat unravels old stories and braids together new ones.
