First Nations Author at Confederation Centre Art Gallery
Richard Wagamese, award-winning Ojibwa novelist, journalist, and memoir writer will give a public reading on Monday, November 3, at 7:30 pm in the Confederation Centre Art Gallery.
His new novel, Medicine Walk, which follows his best-selling novel Indian Horse with its focus on Aboriginal hockey and residential schools, testifies to the redeeming power of love and compassion.
Among his honours are the 2013 Molson Prize for the Arts and 2012 National Aboriginal Achievement Award for Media & Communications.
Wagamese's reading is sponsored by the UPEI Department of English, with the collaboration of the Confederation Centre Art Gallery and generous support of the Canada Council for the Arts.
