📚 About our sessions
Please read the stories listed below before attending. For every story we will start with summarizing the story so that we have it fresh in our minds. We will share our opinions about the story, which parts we liked and which we didn't like, and we will discuss any and all aspects of the story and the writing.

📖 About this session

Remember the earth whose skin you are:
red earth, black earth, yellow earth, white earth
brown earth, we are earth.
...
Remember you are all people and all people
are you.
- Remember, Joy Harjo
