SUMMARY:BC Libraries Present katherena vermette
DESCRIPTION:BC Libraries Present is a virtual author series that brings exciting conversations to library users in every corner of British Columbia. 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.\nFalse 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.
