Hey Folks:

Come join us tomorrow for a forum hosted by the Missoula Public Library. I will be moderating a discussion on D'Arcy McNickle's book, "The Surrounded," which is also the One Book Montana selection for 2009. The theme of the library discussion will focus on Indian boarding schools and "The (mis)education of Archilde Leon: The Legacy of Indian Boarding Schools." The forum begins at 7 p.m. in the large meeting room of the library. The library has arranged for three Native people to discuss their views of Indian boarding schools. And, of course, we will engage the audience in this discussion, too. Come join us. For a primer on the book, check out this great library Web page on "The Surrounded."
