Event Details

Award-winning Native American author Mona Susan Power will discuss her story of three generations of Yanktonai Dakota women from the 19th century to the present day, told in part through the stories of the dolls they carried. From the mid-century metropolis of Chicago, to the windswept ancestral lands of the Dakota people, to the bleak and brutal Indian boarding schools, A Council of Dolls is a modern masterpiece -- gorgeous, quietly devastating, and ultimately hopeful, shining a light on the echoing damage wrought by Indian boarding schools and the historical massacres of Indigenous people.
