We will be reading from works by Harvey Arden, author of "Wisdomkeepers" and "Travels in a Stone Canoe." Harvey Arden was a writer for National Geographic for more than 30 years who upon retirement turned to writing books about Native American leaders. He edited the writings of Leonard Peltier in "My Life is My Sundance," and in 2011 his recording of reading excerpts of this work won him a Native American Music Award for Spoken Word. The evening will include readings from this work, followed by discussions of some of the current issues in Indian Country: environmental issues, such as the Keystone XL Pipeline and ANWR; infringement on Native American religious freedoms, such as the rights of the young women of the Winnemem Wintu Nation to hold traditional womanhood ceremonies; and more. There will also be traditional music from Red Buffalo Drum.

 Giving Up the Ghost: A Story About Friendship, 80s Rock, a Lost Scrap of Paper, and What It Means to Be Haunted
(Paperback)
By Eric Nuzum
List Price: $15.00
Our Price: $10.50
(Save: $4.50 30%)
At once hilarious and incredibly moving, Giving Up the Ghost is a memoir of lost love and second chances, and a ghost story like no other.
Eric Nuzum is afraid of the supernatural, and for good reason: As a high school oddball in Canton, Ohio, during the early 1980s, he became convinced that he was being haunted by the ghost of a little girl in a blue dress who lived in his parents' attic. It began as a weird premonition during his dreams, something that his quickly diminishing circle of friends chalked up as a way to get attention. It ended with Eric in a mental ward, having apparently destroyed his life before it truly began. The only thing that kept him from the brink: his friendship with a girl named Laura, a classmate who was equal parts devoted friend and enigmatic crush. With the kind of strange connection you can only forge when you're young, Laura walked Eric back to "normal"-only to become a ghost herself in a tragic twist of fate.
Years later, a fully functioning member of society with a great job and family, Eric still can't stand to have any shut doors in his house for fear of what's on the other side. In order to finally confront his phobia, he enlists some friends on a journey to America's most haunted places. But deep down he knows it's only when he digs up the ghosts of his past, especially Laura, that he'll find the peace he's looking for.
 It's OK Not to Share and Other Renegade Rules for Raising Competent and Compassionate Kids
(Paperback)
By Heather Shumaker
List Price: $15.95
Our Price: $11.17
(Save: $4.79 30%)
Parenting can be such an overwhelming job that it's easy to lose track of where you stand on some of the more controversial subjects at the playground (What if my kid likes to rough house-isn't this ok as long as no one gets hurt? And what if my kid just doesn't feel like sharing?). In this inspiring and enlightening book, Heather Shumaker describes her quest to nail down "the rules" to raising smart, sensitive, and self-sufficient kids. Drawing on her own experiences as the mother of two small children, as well as on the work of child psychologists, pediatricians, educators and so on, in this book Shumaker gets to the heart of the matter on a host of important questions. Hint: many of the rules aren't what you think they are! The "rules" in this book focus on the toddler and preschool years-an important time for laying the foundation for competent and compassionate older kids and then adults. Here are a few of the rules:
It's OK if it's not hurting people or property
Bombs, guns and bad guys allowed.
Boys can wear tutus.
Pictures don't have to be pretty.
Paint off the paper!
Sex ed starts in preschool
Kids don't have to say "Sorry."
Love your kid's lies.
IT'S OK NOT TO SHARE is an essential resource for any parent hoping to avoid PLAYDATEGATE (i.e. your child's behavior in a social interaction with another child clearly doesn't meet with another parent's approval)!
 The Lucky Ones: My Passionate Fight for Farm Animals
(Hardcover)
By Jenny Brown
List Price: $26.00
Our Price: $18.20
(Save: $7.80 30%)
Jonathan Safran Foer meets Jeffrey Moussaieff Mason in a poignant, provocative memoir of survival, compassion, and awakening to the reality of our food system.
Jenny Brown was just ten years old when she lost a leg to bone cancer. Throughout the ordeal, her constant companion was a cat named Boogie. Years later, she would make the connection between her feline friend and the farm animals she ate, acknowledging that most of America's domesticated animals live on industrialized farms, and are viewed as mere production units. Raised in a conservative Southern Baptist family in Kentucky, Brown had been taught to avoid asking questions. But she found her calling and the courage to speak out. She left a flourishing career as a film and television producer after going undercover and exposing horrific animal abuse in Texas stockyards.
Bringing to life this exhilarating transformation, The Lucky Ones introduces readers to Brown's crowning achievement, the renowned Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary she established with her husband in 2004. With a cast of unforgettable survivors, including a fugitive slaughterhouse cow named Kayli; Albie, the three-legged goat; and Quincy, an Easter duckling found abandoned in New York City, The Lucky Ones reveals shocking statistics about the prevalence of animal abuse throughout America's agribusinesses. Blending wry humor with unflinching honesty, Brown brings a compelling new voice to the healthy-living movement-and to the vulnerable, voiceless creatures among us.
