4:00 - 5:00 pm
South Dakota State Agricultural Heritage Museum
Brookings, South Dakota


Ruth Harper (Crazy Woman Creek: "Vagina Dialogues on the Road Trip") and Ruby Wilson (Woven On the Wind: "Mother Love" and Crazy Woman Creek: "Room For a Small House") will co-host the opening day discussion of Crazy Woman Creek on July 10th. The remaining discussions will be lead by Mary Haug (Crazy Woman Creek: "Tapestry Woven of Stories").

Entitled "Community and a Sense of Place," the reading program includes discussion of the books Crazy Women Creek: Women Rewrite the American West, Edited by Linda M. Hasselstrom, Gaydell Collier & Nancy Curtis, and Completing the Circle Edited by Virginia Driving Hawk Sneve.

An often-discussed topic is the growth and demise of communities in South Dakota. This series of discussions, sponsored by the South Dakota Humanities Council "One Book South Dakota -- Packaged Reading Program," will allow participants to examine what community means to them.

Group Size is limited! The books will be available at the museum prior to the start of the program.
