Greetings! We have been seeking to retire the Travelin Truth Telling Tour of Native American author's books, and have found a home for them at Central Lakes College in Brainerd. The Humphrey Center for American Indian Studies is located in the Skone Family Conservatory and is part of the library in the east wing of the Brainerd CLC Campus. The main area is a museum housing interpretive displays on Ojibway culture. It also houses more than 3000 books, research materials, resources and programming on American Indian cultures and related issues. Although our donation is small, we are delighted that they will be added to a collection dedicated to preserving and promoting writing by Native authors in the spirit of truth telling about the past, and reconciliation. This is a furtherance of our goals as stated in the 2011 Resolution on the Condition of the Indigenous People, to promote education and understanding between the cultures.
The transfer should take place after June 2, when the summer sessions start and the library is open.
Respectfully submitted, Mary DeYoung, News Director 218-587-2543
