Very cool opportunity!

Free registration is now open for our author talk with David Treuer (Leech Lake Ojibwe), “The Savage Mind: Reckoning With the History of American Violence and Native Futures.”

Drawing from memoir, history and journalism, Treuer will reflect on how Americans might make sense of a country shaped by violence while also searching for ways to hold ourselves, our families and our communities together.

The program will take place at 2 p.m. on November 7 in Anderson Theater at Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation. A brief audience Q&A and book signing will follow, with the opportunity to purchase "The Savage Mind: An American Legacy.”

Additional details and registration information can be found at THF.org/TheSavageMind.
