Robin Wall Kimmerer is coming to Williamstown on Thursday, February 6, 2024, to be the evening keynote speaker, celebrate Claiming Williams and we hope everybody reads here book and helps welcome her with great enthusiasm and gratitude!
Just come by the DC (30 MORLEY) around noon on Tuesdays and Thursdays in January. Each session will be a stand alone session, so don’t feel like you must attend every one…thought it’d be cool if you did!
The first reading/section to read will be the chapter, “MAPLE NATION: A CITIZENSHIP GUIDE,” pp 167-174: short n’ sweet to start!
If you’ve read more: FANTASTIC! Maybe you can have a say in the next session!
This book group is ever-evolving, it’ll look at what the participants want as to what the next week’s readings/themes will be!
