Book Reading and Discussion

We’re hosting a book reading and discussion featuring Sally Thompson, author of Black Robes Enter Coyote’s World: Chief Charlo and Father De Smet in the Rocky Mountains. The book explores the complicated history of Jesuit missionaries, treaty-makers, and Indian agents among the Bitterroot Salish, through the lives of real people.

Thompson picks up the story of the Salish peoples and black-robed missionaries at a Potawatomi mission on the Missouri in 1839, and follows their intertwined experiences throughout the lifetime of Chief Charlo. This event will include the author reading selected passages, followed by a discussion session with the audience. Light refreshments will be served. Registration is not required for this event, and everyone is welcome to attend.
