WTB women take a look inside Native culture by discussing the book, “There, There” by Tommy Orange on Monday, March 10.
Reviewers say it’s a look at Native American life in Oakland, California, through the experiences and perspectives of 12 characters. The book culminates in an event called the Big Oakland Powwow.
Orange is a member of the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma. He writes, “We made powwows because we needed a place to be together. Something intertribal, something old, something to make us money, something we could work toward, for our jewelry, our songs, our dances, our drum.”
The Book Club meets on Zoom from 7-9 in the evening. Call Jennifer Roberts Crittenden at <315-633-2817> to get the Zoom login.
