Taylor Keen: Rediscovering Turtle Island
July 29 | 6:30 - 8:00 p.m.Council Bluffs Public Library
Join us at the Council Bluffs Public Library for an enlightening presentation by Taylor Keen, author of Rediscovering Turtle Island: A First Peoples' Account of the Sacred Geography of America.
Keen, a senior lecturer at Creighton University, a citizen of the Cherokee Nation, and a member of the Earthen Bison Clan of the Omaha Tribe, delves into the rich history, mythology, and sacred geography of Indigenous cultures in North America.
Drawing from oral traditions, historical accounts, and archaeology, Keen reimagines the narratives of Turtle Island, exploring the deep cultural significance of ancient earthworks and their connections to the sky. His work sheds light on the wisdom of First Peoples and their contributions to understanding the land we inhabit today. Don’t miss this opportunity to rediscover the past through an Indigenous lens and engage in a thought-provoking discussion on history, identity, and sacred spaces!
