Carol Deering from the Central Wyoming College Library sends this update:
N. Scott Momaday, the first Native American Pulitzer Prize-winning author (for his first novel, House Made of Dawn), will be in Fremont County April 2-3.
Here are the details. (Note: if you have already received information, there has been a change in location for Friday night).
On Thursday April 2, Dr. Momaday will visit with students (CWC and any high schools that want to bring their students here) from 2:30-3:50 p.m. in CWC’s RAP Theatre, for an informal Q&A. That night at 7:30 he will give his public presentation, "Establishing Good Relations: Recognizing What We Have in Common," in the RAP Theatre. Afterwards, he’ll sign books (CWC Bookstore will have some for sale that night, for cash or check; credit cards need to be used ahead of time: call the bookstore at 855-2201 or 855-2148), and the Friends of CWC Library will sell beverages and homemade cookies.
Friday April 3 from 9:30-11 a.m., he will meet informally for a Q&A with students from several high schools at St. Stephen’s High School, and then from 1:30-3:30 p.m., he’ll meet informally for a Q&A with students from several high schools at Wyoming Indian H.S. That night he’ll be celebrated at a community honoring feast at Ft. Washakie School, from 6-9 p.m.
All these events are free and open to the public. We are hoping people will attend as many events as possible. (We are telling travelers, "Come for the presentation, stay for the celebration.")
