Kitchigami Regional Library hosts Anton Treuer

   Join Kitchigami Regional Library System for an in-person discussion with Anton Treuer, award-winning author and historian of “Everything You Wanted to Know About Indians But Were Afraid to Ask”. This event will be hosted at the Walker Area Community Center on Wed., March 2 at 6 p.m. 

   Treuer is Professor of Ojibwe at Bemidji State University and author of many books. His equity, education, and cultural work has put him on a path of service around the region, the nation, and the world. In matter-of-fact responses to over 120 questions, both thoughtful and outrageous, modern and historical, Treuer gives a frank, funny, and sometimes personal tour of what’s up with Indians, anyway. White/Indian relations are often characterized by guilt and anger. Everything You Wanted to Know about Indians But Were Afraid to Ask cuts through the emotion and builds a foundation for true understanding and positive action.

   This event will also be held on Saturday, March 5 at 3 p.m. at the Bemidji Public Library; Wednesday, March 9 at the Brainerd Public Library beginning at noon and Thursday, March 10 at the Park Rapids Armory Arts and Events Center at 6 p.m.

   This free program is funded with money from Minnesota’s Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.
