SUMMARY:On-Line Author Talk:   Native Rights and Culture in Fiction–A Conversation with Mona Susan Power
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, November 20th at 7:00 PM EST \n  \nRegister Here \n  \nYou’re invited to join us as Mona Susan Power chats about her newest novel A Council of Dolls. This conversation highlights how her work explores Native Rights and Native American culture\, in particular using an important symbol that anchors comfort and companionship in Native life: dolls. \nFrom the mid-century metropolis of Chicago to the windswept ancestral lands of the Dakota people\, to the bleak and brutal Indian boarding schools\, A Council of Dolls is the story of three women\, told in part through the stories of the dolls they carried…. \nSissy\, born 1961: Sissy’s relationship with her beautiful and volatile mother is difficult\, even dangerous\, but her life is also filled with beautiful things\, including a new Christmas present\, a doll called Ethel. Ethel whispers advice and kindness in Sissy’s ear\, and in one especially terrifying moment\, maybe even saves Sissy’s life. \nLillian\, born 1925: Born in her ancestral lands in a time of terrible change\, Lillian clings to her sister\, Blanche\, and her doll\, Mae. When the sisters are forced to attend an “Indian school” far from their home\, Blanche refuses to be cowed by the school’s abusive nuns. But when tragedy strikes the sisters\, the doll Mae finds her way to defend the girls. \nCora\, born 1888: Though she was born into the brutal legacy of the “Indian Wars\,” Cora isn’t afraid of the white men who remove her to a school across the country to be “civilized.” When teachers burn her beloved buckskin and beaded doll Winona\, Cora discovers that the spirit of Winona may not be entirely lost… \nA modern masterpiece\, A Council of Dolls is gorgeous\, quietly devastating\, and ultimately hopeful\, shining a light on the echoing damage wrought by Indian boarding schools\, and the historical massacres of Indigenous people. Mona Susan Power weaves a spell of love and healing that comes alive on the page. Register now to join the conversation! \nAbout the Author: Mona Susan Power is an enrolled member of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe.
