SUMMARY:Weshoyot Alvitre’s Brave: Reading and Book Signing
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special reading and talk with author-illustrator Weshoyot Alvitre\, featuring her heartfelt picture book Brave. The story follows a Native American boy proudly growing out his hair and learning from his family that braids are powerful\, beautiful\, and deeply meaningful. Told through a tender father–son relationship\, Brave explores the painful legacy of colonization—when Native children were forced to cut their hair and abandon their cultural practices—and affirms Indigenous pride and history. Each morning\, a father gently brushes and braids his son’s hair. Despite teasing at school and the discomfort of hair tugging\, the boy draws strength from family stories and traditions\, ultimately finding that his long hair makes him feel brave. The event will begin with a talk by Alvitre on the historical context and creative process behind the book; it will be followed by a live reading of Brave and discussion in the courtyard. We will end with a reception and book signing.

SUMMARY:Billy Mills - Book Signing/Meet & Greet
DESCRIPTION:Event Details:\nDate/Time – 08/17/2024 (11:00 am to 1:00 pm)\nLocation – 2618 K Street\, Sacramento\, CA State Indian Museum SHP\nCost – Free\n\nDescription:\nBilly Mills\, Oglala Lakota\, Olympic 10\,000 meter run gold medal winner and author\, will be at the State Indian Museum on August 17th signing copies of his new children’s book\, Wings of an Eagle. Mr. Mills will have just returned from the Olympics in Paris and is eager to share his incredible journey with you. Meet and talk with him and get your book (or your gift book) signed by the author (while supplies last)!\n\nThis is a free public event hosted by our non-profit partner\, the California Indian Heritage Center Foundation. There is a separate charge to visit the State Indian Museum.\n\nBilly Mills Bio:\nBilly Mills was born on June 30\, 1938 in Pine Ridge\, South Dakota. He is Oglala Lakota (Sioux) and grew up on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. Billy did not have an easy childhood. Surrounded by poverty and orphaned at the age of 12\, he started running to channel his energy into something positive. In high school\, his gift for running become more apparent as he set records in numerous track events. He went on to earn a track scholarship from the University of Kansas and then served as an Officer in the United States Marine Corps.\n\nAt the 1964 Olympics\, he shocked the world and came from behind to win the gold medal in the 10\,000 meters race. At the time\, he set a world record of 28 minutes\, 24.4 seconds and is still the only American to ever win a gold medal in the 10K event. His win was an upset that has been called the second greatest moment in Olympic history.\n\nIn Lakota culture\, someone who achieves great success has a ‘giveaway’ to thank the support system of family and friends who helped him achieve his goal. As part of his effort to give back to his community\, Billy helped found Running Strong for American Indian Youth and became the organization’s National Spokesperson. Today Billy travels over 300 days every year. He visits Native American communities throughout the U.S. and speaks to youth about healthy lifestyles and taking pride in their heritage.

SUMMARY:Writing the Land with Greg Sarris
DESCRIPTION:In person at 678 Mission Street in San Francisco or live via Zoom \nCelebrated storyteller and tribal leader Greg Sarris explores how\, despite the trauma of settler-colonialism\, Native American communities have preserved cultural heritage through the power of story and the significance of these stories in influencing our relationship with the lands where we live. Drawing from his experience writing his own “fascinating and evocative memoir in essays” (Kirkus\, starred review)\, Sarris will share insights of the Coast Miwok and Southern Pomo ancestors whose inspiration is alive in his writing. His talk will underscore the urgency of what these inherited wisdoms and the rise of Native American literature have to teach us in the era of climate breakdown. \nFor in-person registration\, visit – https://tinyurl.com/23djpfb9 \nFor online registration\, visit – https://tinyurl.com/yvmht6u4
