Indigenous Book Study

The Book Study group gathers by Zoom each week at 5:30pm PT for one-hour. Our books are not solely by Indigenous authors but our conversations are Indigenously accountable. Visit the Bookstore to get an idea of what we have read and those we are considering. We also read and review treaties and court decisions as they arise in our reading or because they are currently in the news. The group is fluid. Folk show up when life allows—sometimes weeks, sometimes years later. You are welcome to join any time! Fill out the form below to get a link to our next session.
