Books Now and Then (hybrid)

We’re observing Native American Heritage Month with There, There, by Tommy Orange.

This wondrous and shattering award-winning novel follows twelve characters from Native communities: all traveling to the Big Oakland Powwow, all connected to one another in ways they may not yet realize. Together this chorus of voices tells of the plight of the urban Native American—grappling with a complex and painful history, with an inheritance of beauty and spirituality, with communion, sacrifice and heroism.
