Readings in Native Canadian Literature
9:00 a.m., Wednesday, Sept. 23, 2009
Room 413 in Spiva Library
Admission: free

The rich literary tradition of native or Aboriginal writers in Canada will be suggested through readings from works crafted by descendants of these very early Canadians. The native writers, whose literary efforts draw strength from their natural environment and often reflect the political events and other crucial issues affecting Indian life, have increasingly received recognition in recent years, a period of energetic literary activity. The readings in native literature by faculty members from the MSSU English department will provide a glimpse into the diverse fabric of Indian culture with its many tribes and their poems and stories.
