Alfreda Beartrack Algeo

November 3, 2023 @ 4:15 pm - 5:30 pm

Join us for a beautiful and fun storytime with author Alfreda Beartrack Algeo, an enrolled member of the Lower Brule Lakota Nation in South Dakota. Alfreda will be reading her book The Day the Earth Rose Up, which was chosen by the Wyoming Humanities to represent our state at the National Book Festival. Stay after the storytime to have your copy of the book signed! Copies will be available for purchase during the event.

Quick book description: When seven Lakota sisters venture deep into the forest to gather chokecherries, they are surprised and chased by a giant bear. As they huddle together on a rock ledge and pray for help, the earth rises up, taking them out of reach of the bear. A great eagle rescues the Seven Sisters by taking them to the Star Nation, where they become the Pleiades star formation we see in the night sky.
