Through a seamless blend of memoir, history, and reportage, Treuer leverages this unique dual perspective to offer an examination of North America's—and its citizens’—continuing acts of violence throughout history aimed at diminishing and controlling our freedom and autonomy. A short work of gorgeous prose and movingly intimate storytelling, The Savage Mind does not hazard to offer an easy diagnosis of the violence and grief that is core to who we are as nations, nor does Treuer offer unrealistic solutions. Yet he does choose to embrace a hopeful view of Turtle Island, one that is all the more critical in a moment when it may feel very challenging to do so. David Treuer is an Ojibwe Indian from the Leech Lake Reservation in northern Minnesota. His book, the New York Times bestseller The Heartbeat of Wounded Knee, was a finalist for both the 2019 National Book Award and the 2020 Carnegie Medal. He is also the author of four novels and two other books of nonfiction, as well as essays and stories that have appeared in The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post, Harper's Magazine, Esquire, and Slate, among others. Treuer divides his time between his home on the Leech Lake Reservation and Los Angeles, where he is a professor of English at the University of Southern California. He is also an editor at large at Pantheon Books, where his focus is on Native writers and emerging voices. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/winnipeg/an-evening-with-david-treuer-the-savage-mind-an-indigenous-legacy/200030668016537 - **Event Categories**: Art, literary-art - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details ## Event venue details - **city**: Winnipeg - **state**: MB - **country**: Canada - **location**: McNally Robinson Booksellers - **lat**: 49.857618289323 - **long**: -97.165596350487 - **full address**: McNally Robinson Booksellers, 1120 Grant Avenue,Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: An Evening with David Treuer (The Savage Mind: An Indigenous Legacy) - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/65a03632c1c20dda6cbb56c3028aaf3077f70d3279ca513d7f0aa60a921f96dd-rimg-w1200-h675-dcf8f8f8-gmir?v=1788745237 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is An Evening with David Treuer (The Savage Mind: An Indigenous Legacy) being held? - **A:** An Evening with David Treuer (The Savage Mind: An Indigenous Legacy) takes place on Wed, 21 Oct, 2026 at 07:00 pm to Wed, 21 Oct, 2026 at 08:00 pm at McNally Robinson Booksellers, 1120 Grant Avenue,Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. - **Q**: Who is organizing An Evening with David Treuer (The Savage Mind: An Indigenous Legacy)? - **A:** An Evening with David Treuer (The Savage Mind: An Indigenous Legacy) is organized by McNally Robinson Booksellers. - **Q**: What has been the experience of attendees at McNally Robinson Booksellers's events? - **A:** Attendees have given McNally Robinson Booksellers a rating of 3/5 based on reviews from early attendees on AllEvents.
