Minnesota Author Tour 2025: La Crescent Public Library Presents KENT NERBURN

The La Crescent Public Library is honored to host Kent Nerburn on Saturday, October 18th, 10:00am at the La Crescent Community Building.

Born and raised near Minneapolis, author Kent Nerburn went on to the University of Minnesota for American Studies, then to several post-graduate studies in Religion, Humanities, and Art. He worked for several years on the Red Lake Ojibwe reservation, helping students collect the memories of the tribal elders. This experience introduced him to the native spiritual traditions that are central to the messages of his writings.

He characterizes his work as a "constant search, from various perspecitves, for an authentic American spirituality that integrates our western Judeo-Christian tradition with other traditions of the world, especially the indigenous spirituality of the people who first inhabited this continent."

The Minnesota Author Tour is made possible through SELCO and the Minnesota Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.
