David Fierst
Tuesday, April 8th at 2:00PM
In the meeting room at the library.
The Monroe County District Library Explore program will present author David Fierst. He will discuss his 2020 release Hidden Disgrace: Revealing the Distress Signals Covered by North American Indians.
His book is a result of a visit to Pine Ridge Reservation, South Dakota in 2014. After viewing the living conditions on the reservation, he became curious about the history of the Lakota people and Indian people in general; he also wanted to understand the current situation for these people as well.
Fierst conducted original document research at such diverse venues as the National Archives in Washington , D. C., the Minnesota Historical Society in St. Paul, and the Lilly Library in Bloomington, Indiana.
Mr. Fierst will have copies of his book for sale.
