Event

Kick off Indigenous History Month (June) by joining in to discuss the award-winning novel Firekeeper’s Daughter by Angeline Boulley.

With sharp turns and charming characters, this debut thriller by Annishinabe author Boulley centers 18-year-old Daunis Fontaine, who loves and fits into her community but yearns for official citizenship in the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians. A lover of both science and hockey, Daunis had planned on going away for college, but after her uncle overdoses on meth and her grandmother has a stroke, she stays closer to her Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan home, negotiating a complex familial situation having to do with her deceased Annishinabe father and the infiltration of meth into her community. Winner of the American Library Association’s 2022 Printz and Morris Awards.

This book club discussion is open to Adults and Teens who have read (at least part) of the book.
