Hi Everyone,
I hope everyone has had a chance to get a copy of our next selection: Tomson Highway's The Rez Sisters. It's a relatively short read (perfect for June) that I think everyone will enjoy. It follows a group of native women that decide to go on a roadtrip from their lives on the reserve to a large Bingo game in Toronto. Hilarity and family drama ensue. For some inspiration, I found a few links to share. They are posted below.
A painting entitled "Bingo Ladies" that may help you imagine the play:

Another native author, Drew Hayden Taylor, writes about his feelings about the play The Rez Sisters:

Happy reading and see you all soon!
