SUMMARY:Author Talk: katherena vermette
DESCRIPTION:False claims to Indigenous identity has gotten headlines across the country in recent years, with famous writers, academics, and artists uncovered as “pretendians.” The issue has been the subject of popular podcasts, feature articles in major magazines, and even a CBC documentary.\nBestselling author katherena vermette’s new novel, real ones, tells the story of sisters who must face their past trauma when their mother is called out for false claims to Indigenous identity. It’s a novel that explores the impact that pretendianism has on Indigenous peoples, and pays homage to the long-fought, hard-won battles of Michif (Métis) people to regain ownership of their identity.\nFor the second event of this lineup, join katherena vermette in conversation with award-winning writer Michelle Cyca.\nNWPL members can access this talk in two ways:\n\nregister to attend online here: crowdcast.io/@bclibraries-present ( https://www.crowdcast.io/@bclibraries-present ) and watch at home\nattend a live screening of the virtual event in the library (a good choice if your internet at home is unreliable or you’d like to chat with others about the presentation)\n\n_____________________________________________________________________\nBC Libraries Present: Indigenous Fiction\nA series of compelling author talks presented virtually by BC’s Public Library Community\nFor the second year in a row, BC’s public libraries are hosting a virtual author series to bring new insights and voices to library users in every corner of British Columbia: BC Libraries Present. Public libraries are known as centres of dialogue on many important ideas in their communities. To build upon that role, Public Library InterLINK has brought together many libraries, both big and small, to host these events and provide access to award-winning authors to library users across the province.\nFor the second season of this series, the topic is Indigenous Fiction. Indigenous writers have been a crucial part of the literary landscape for a long time, with stories that bring important perspectives and capture the imaginations of diverse audiences. Indigenous fiction in particular is breaking ground with award-winning and bestselling novels that are shifting conversations and opening minds across the country.\nThe fall 2024 lineup will feature three phenomenal authors who have garnered top praise and huge readership across the country, providing an opportunity for readers across BC to be part of a live conversation of their essential new books.\n
