"Join Restoring Ancestral Winds in our monthly, Indigenous focused book club! We will be highlighting Indigenous stories and Indigenous authors. This event is free and open to the public. We will be discussing sensitive topics like domestic violence and sexual assault. We will be introducing our new book, "There, There" by Tommy Orange for Minority Mental Health Awareness month. This book brings to light the voices of urban Native American. Sometimes being seen as an Urban Native can bring complex feelings and painful histories but also brings a profound amount of knowledge and strength that isn't always brought to the surface of Native American life. The purpose and hope of the yinishta book club is that throughout the discussion of the book "There, there", a community of connection will be built within those who attend the book club."

"We will be discussing sensitive topics like domestic violence and sexual assault. In our upcoming book club meeting, we will be discussing the first part of “There, There” by Tommy Orange, a poignant exploration of contemporary Native American identity. This novel weaves together twelve interconnected stories that highlight themes of violence, recovery, and the complex relationship between environment and identity. Each character navigates their personal and collective histories, shedding light on the beauty and pain inherent in their experiences. As we discuss these narratives, we'll reflect on how they resonate with the broader context of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, considering the psychological impact of historical trauma and the resilience found in these diverse voices. Join us for a rich conversation about the layers of meaning in Orange’s work and its relevance to understanding identity, community, and healing."
