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:Inlandia Institutes presents - Know We Are Here: Voices of Native California Resistance
DESCRIPTION:FREE • Arts Walk • Thursday\, November 2 • 7–8 PM\, doors open at 6:30\nRiverside Public Library Community Room\n3900 Mission Inn Avenue\, Riverside 92501\nCollecting over twenty-five essays written by more than fifteen California Indian  authors\, Know We Are Here surveys many of the ways California’s Indigenous communities are resisting the legacies of genocide. Focusing on the particular histories\, challenges\, and dynamics of life in Native California—which are often very different from elsewhere in the United States—the book collects essays from writers across the state. It encompasses the perspectives of both elders and the rising generation\, and the contributors include activists\, academics\, students\, memoirists\, and tribal leaders. \nThe collection examines histories of resistance to colonialism in California\, the reclaiming of cultures and languages\, the connection of place and nature to wellness in tribal communities\, efforts to overhaul the racist presentation of California Indians in classrooms and popular culture\, and the meanings of solidarity in Native California. Unifying the book is an introduction by Terria Smith\, editor of the renowned and long-running magazine News from Native California. This book is an indispensable resource for California Indian readers\, educators of all levels in California\, and students in Native studies courses nationally. \nThe library will also provide an array of books by Indigenous authors available for check out. Don’t have a library card? You can get one on the spot! \nFree and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served.

SUMMARY:Know We Are Here: Native Visibility in the University
