SUMMARY:Books on the Boundary: The Berry Pickers
DESCRIPTION:Books on the Boundary: A Museum of the Cherokee People Reading Circle is a quarterly book club for members of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians and guests. This summer\, the club has selected The Berry Pickers by Amanda Peters (Mi’kmaq and settler ancestry). The 2023 novel is a national bestseller\, 2023 Barnes & Noble Discover Prize Winner\, and Winner of the Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Fiction. \n“A stunning debut about love\, race\, brutality\, and the balm of forgiveness.” —People\, A Best New Book \nAbout The Berry Pickers\nJuly 1962. A Mi’kmaq family from Nova Scotia arrives in Maine to pick blueberries for the summer. Weeks later\, four-year-old Ruthie\, the family’s youngest child\, vanishes. She is last seen by her six-year-old brother\, Joe\, sitting on a favorite rock at the edge of a berry field. Joe will remain distraught by his sister’s disappearance for years to come. \nIn Maine\, a young girl named Norma grows up as the only child of an affluent family. Her father is emotionally distant\, her mother frustratingly overprotective. Norma is often troubled by recurring dreams and visions that seem more like memories than imagination. As she grows older\, Norma slowly comes to realize there is something her parents aren’t telling her. Unwilling to abandon her intuition\, she will spend decades trying to uncover this family secret. \nFor readers of The Vanishing Half and Woman of Light\, this showstopping debut by a vibrant new voice in fiction is a riveting novel about the search for truth\, the shadow of trauma\, and the persistence of love across time. \n“A harrowing tale of Indigenous family separation . . . [Peters] excels in writing characters for whom we can’t help rooting . . . With The Berry Pickers\, Peters takes on the monumental task of giving witness to people who suffered through racist attempts of erasure like her Mi’kmaw ancestors.” —The New York Times Book Review \nAbout the Author\nAmanda Peters is a writer of Mi’kmaq and settler ancestry. Her debut novel\, The Berry Pickers was the winner of the Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Fiction and the 2023 Barnes & Noble Discover Prize\, and was shortlisted for the Atwood Gibson Fiction Award from the Writers Trust of Canada. Her work has also appeared in the Antigonish Review\, Grain Magazine\, the Alaska Quarterly Review\, the Dalhousie Review and Filling Station Magazine. She is the winner of the 2021 Indigenous Voices Award for Unpublished Prose and a participant in the 2021 Writers’ Trust Rising Stars program. Amanda is a graduate of the Master of Fine Arts Program at the Institute of American Indian Arts (IAIA) in Santa Fe\, New Mexico\, and has a Certificate in Creative Writing from the University of Toronto. \nAbout Books on the Boundary\nNew in 2024\, Books on the Boundary: A Museum of the Cherokee People Reading Circle is a quarterly book club that discusses the best fiction\, nonfiction\, and poetry written by Indigenous authors.

DESCRIPTION:An exhibition of work by students in the Museum of the Cherokee People’s annual community learning pottery workshop\, led by renowned ceramic artist Tara McCoy (Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians)\, Didanisisgi Gadagwatli showcases the dedication of a new era of Cherokee artists. \nMcCoy developed her pottery workshop three years ago when she noticed a decline in practicing ceramic artists in the Cherokee community. Compelled to do her part in ensuring that there are future generations of Cherokee potters\, she developed a three-month intensive workshop that invites aspiring potters from the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians and other federally recognized tribes to learn all facets of Cherokee ceramics. \nExhibited Artists: Mona Taylor (Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians)\, Faith Long-Presley (Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians)\, Steven Long (Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians)\, Chelsea Hemphill (Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians)\, Hope Long (Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians)\, Jake Stephens (Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians)\, Lori Sanders (Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians)\, Monique Taylor (Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians)\, Juanita Paz-Chalacha (Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians)\, Kaliya Wachacha (Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians)\, Adelia Crowe (Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians) \nAbout the Instructor: Tara McCoy (Eastern Band Cherokee)\, graduated from Cherokee High School and furthered her education at Guilford College in Greensboro\, NC.  She graduated with a B.S. degree in Sports Medicine. After graduating\, she returned to the Qualla Boundary in Cherokee\, North Carolina and worked in various programs including Cherokee High School/Coaching\, UNITY Treatment Center\, Dora Reed Daycare and Women’s Health before settling down into a role at Cherokee Choices\, a Diabetes Prevention Program\, for 14 years. She currently serves as the Right Path Leadership Specialist at the Ray Kinsland Leadership Institute where her role is to help develop selfless leaders deeply rooted in Cherokee culture identity and leadership through teaching Cherokee values\, culture\, history\, and language. \nShe is a 2011 Right Path Program Alumni\, a 2011 Remember the Removal Bike Ride Legacy Rider\, founder and supporter of the Cherokee Cancer Support Group\, artist member of the Qualla Arts and Crafts Mutual\, Inc. and promotes Cherokee art by organizing and teaching art shows and classes in her community.  A member of the Wolf Clan\, she has a lifetime’s experience in multi-medium Cherokee arts and is dedicated to teaching others both traditional and contemporary forms. \nShe began formally studying pottery\, finger weaving\, and beadwork in high school and has expanded her skills in the area of shell carving in the last four years after studying with renowned shell carver Dan Townsend. She has studied with Tammy Beane of Alabama and admired other Cherokee potters for their work\, such as Joel Queen and the late Amanda Swimmer.  McCoy is inspired by her culture\, Cherokee legends\, and nature as she crafts her designs. Her art has won multiple awards and ribbons in North Carolina and Oklahoma as well as being exhibited in museums across the country. McCoy believes everyone is an artist. She lives in the Birdtown community of Cherokee. \n

SUMMARY:Books on the Boundary: A Museum of the Cherokee People Reading Circle - 'Even As We Breathe'
DESCRIPTION:Books on the Boundary: A Museum of the Cherokee People Reading Circle is a quarterly book club that discusses the best fiction\, nonfiction\, and poetry written by Indigenous authors. Join us quarterly at the Museum of the Cherokee People Store. Our Winter 2024 read is Even As We Breathe\, a suspenseful historical fiction novel by Annette Saunooke Clapsaddle (Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians). Bring your thoughts and questions to our meeting as we enjoy a Q&A with the author herself!\n\n“Nineteen-year-old Cowney Sequoyah yearns to escape his hometown of Cherokee\, North Carolina\, in the heart of the Smoky Mountains. When a summer job at Asheville’s luxurious Grove Park Inn and Resort brings him one step closer to escaping the hills that both cradle and suffocate him\, he sees it as an opportunity. With World War II raging in Europe\, the inn is the temporary home of Axis diplomats and their families\, who are being held as prisoners of war. Soon\, Cowney’s refuge becomes a cage when the daughter of one of the residents goes missing and he finds himself accused of abduction and murder.\n\nEven As We Breathe invokes the elements of bone\, blood\, and flesh as Cowney navigates difficult social\, cultural\, and ethnic divides. After leaving the seclusion of the Cherokee reservation\, he is able to explore a future free from the consequences of his family’s choices and to construct a new worldview\, for a time. However\, prejudice and persecution in the white world of the resort eventually compel Cowney to free himself from larger forces that hold him back as he struggles to unearth evidence of his innocence and clear his name.”\n\nEven As We Breathe is available for purchase at the Museum Store and in our webstore.\n\nKeep up with book club happenings by joining our Books on the Boundary Facebook group.
