Let’s Talk About It: “Bad Indians: A Tribal Memoir” Book Discussion
November 18 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm
November 18 @ 6:00 pm – 7:30 pm
Join Let’s Talk About It, a book club for people who love to read and discuss great literature! Read Bad Indians: A Tribal Memoir and participate in a discussion led by Patti Loughlin. This book leads readers through a troubled past using author Deborah A. Miranda’s family circle as a touch point and resource for discovery. Personal and strong, these stories present an evocative new view of the shaping of California and the lives of American Indians during the mission period in California. The result is a work of literary art that is wise, angry and playful all at once.
This is part of a five-part series connecting book discussion with the Museum’s exhibition Cheyenne Ledger Artists of Fort Marion.
Patti Loughlin, Ph.D., is a professor of history in the Department of History and Geography at the University of Central Oklahoma. Loughlin specializes in the history of the American West, women’s and gender history and American Indian history.
