Event Navigation
With Native American Heritage Month in October, Dayton Metro Library is beginning its recognition and celebration with a few key events.
Monday, September 30 is National Day of Truth and Reconciliation, a.k.a. Orange Shirt Day, and in honor of this, DML will host two ‘Every Child Matters’ programs for all ages:
‘Every Child Matters’ Storytime, 4-4:30 pm, Main Library, Story Corner: Autumn Lee, a local Indigenous community leader, will read and share stories about Indigenous experiences at residential boarding schools. Stories include: “When I was Eight,” by Christy Jordan-Fenton and Margaret Pokiak-Fenton; “When We Were Alone,” by David Robertson; “Stolen Words” by Melanie Florence; and “The Orange Shirt Story” by Phyllis Webstad.
‘Every Child Matters’ Film Screening, 5:30-8 pm, Eichelberger Forum: Patrons can participate in a film screening of Older Than America (NR, 2008), which tells the story of a Native American woman being haunted by visions that compel her to seek the truth about a residential school. A discussion will also take place to educate and build awareness of Indigenous history, prompting the question of how can educators diversity their strategies in teaching?
