Join the Library Park to celebrate the latest book from Chris La Tray, Becoming Little Shell: A Landless Indian’s Journey Home. Both Personal and historical, Becoming Little Shell is a testament to the power of storytelling, to family and legacy, and to finding home. Infused with candor, heart, wisdom and an abiding love for a place and a people, Chris La Tray’s remarkable journey is both revelatory and redemptive. Bring a blanket or chair to sit in during this free program. Cassiopeia Books will be on site to sell his book, as well.
