ABOUT THIS EVENT: We are excited to host a series of guest speakers specifically designed to introduce K-12 educators and librarians to books by Dakota and Ojibwe authors and illustrators. Each gathering features an interview and Q&A with the guest presenter and time in the Perpich Library to peruse our extensive collection of books by Native authors.
Tuesday, March 11, our guest is Kim Sigafus (White Earth Nation), an internationally-published, award-winning author and speaker. “Bekaadiziikwe” is her Ojibwa name, meaning “Quiet Woman”. Kim writes in many genres including Native American fiction, non-fiction, YA, and children’s books. She’s written plays that have been produced, too. Kim also enjoys sharing her culture with others. She travels throughout the United States doing Native programs for schools and libraries, and has presented at conferences and museums including the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry.
Some of the books by Kim Sigafus:
- Native Writers, Voices of Power
- Native Elders, Sharing Their Wisdom
- Nowhere to Hide
- Autumn’s Dawn
- Finding Grace
- Whisper to the Sky
- Yesterday’s Rain

The first 40 people attending this event will receive a free book.
We look forward to talking with Kim Sigafus about her work and how K-12 educators can bring her experiences into their classrooms!
