Becoming Little Shell

Becoming Little Shell Book Launch with Chris La Tray

Join Missoula Public Library and Chris La Tray for a book launch program celebrating the release of Becoming Little Shell: A Landless Indian’s Journey Home, the highly-anticipated new book from Montana Poet Laureate and Little Shell Chippewa member Chris La Tray. The book – a memoir combining the story of the Little Shell Chippewa Tribe, the most recent tribe to receive federal recognition from the United States Government, the history of the Métis people, and La Tray’s own search to find a place with them – tells, in the words of Robin Wall Kimmerer, (Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plants), “a story as strong and beautiful as a Métis sash, a story of identity, kinship and the journey toward justice.” Fact & Fiction Bookstore will be on-hand to sell copies of the book. Doors open at 5:30 PM and the program begins at 6:00 PM.

 

This event will be live-streamed on MCAT’s Facebook.
