In the 1970s, with the swagger of unapologetic Indianness, organizers of the American Indian Movement (AIM) fought for Native liberation and survival as a community of extended families. Warrior Women is the story of Madonna Thunder Hawk, one such AIM leader who shaped a kindred group of activists' children - including her daughter Marcy - into the "We Will Remember" Survival School as a Native alternative to government-run education.
The film runs 64 minutes and will be followed by a Q&A with filmmaker Dr. Elizabeth A. Castle, who will join us remotely. This program will be streamed, but the film will only be available live. Click here to watch live online. The password to watch is TCLWarrior. Part of the 2023 Winter Read.

Book Review: Library Staff | |

“…when the time came to either abandon the trip and head back north, or continue, [the captain] decided to forge ahead so
he could obtain the fame he sought…”
| |
|
Peter Matschek, Gold Mine Processing Associate, recommends Madhouse at the End of the Earth by Julian Sancton.
This book is the true story about the experiences of the crew of the Belgica in their attempt to be the first ship to reach the magnetic South Pole. The captain, Adrien de Gerlache, was from an aristocratic family of Belgium; one of his ancestors was one of the founders of the Belgian nation.
Gerlache had dreams of sailing the seas, which he had harbored since he was a child. When he was 28, he put together an expedition under the guise that it would be a scientific endeavor, when in fact it was more for glory for Belgium as well as himself.
The expedition was beset by problems from the start. . .

The Eye of the World is the first book in Robert Jordan's epic Wheel of Time series, fans of high fantasy are sure to enjoy.

During the festival Bell Tine, Rand and his father make their way to the village to prepare for the festivities. Rand's enthusiasm is replaced by uneasiness when a Fade lurks behind him on the road to the village—a creature that he believed to be a myth.
The festivities push away the doubt however, as the year’s festival promises to be especially grand, with the arrival of two mysterious outlanders, a lady named Moraine, and a knight named Lan...
