You’re invited to a webinar, Searching for Our Grandmothers, with award-winning author, Lorri Neilsen Glenn.
Lorri Neilsen Glenn wrote Following the River: Traces of Red River Women to acknowledge her kin — her Indigenous grandmothers and the Canadian landscapes that shaped their lives.
In lyrical and hybrid prose, Neilsen Glenn's work highlights history's erasure of women, along with the colonialism and racism underlying historical and archival records.
What paths can we take to learn about our grandmothers, and what sources and artifacts can help us imagine the lives they lead? This webinar will appeal to readers and writers of nonfiction interested in exploring their families' pasts.
