SUMMARY:Meet Oscar Hokeah author of "Calling For A Blanket Dance"
DESCRIPTION:Join the Greensboro Public Library for this special presentation with author Oscar Hokeah starting with a light continental breakfast served at 8:30 am.

He holds an MA in English with a concentration in Native American Literature from the University of Oklahoma\, as well as a BFA in Creative Writing from the Institute of American Indian Arts (IAIA). \nBooks will be available for purchase and a signing will follow Mr Hokeah’s presentation. Please register in advance at this link.  \nThis event is co-sponsored by Bookmarks Festival of Books\, UNCG Native American Student Association\,  and the City of Greensboro’s Women in the Workplace ERG. \nFor more information\, contact Beth Sheffield at Beth.Sheffield@greensboro-nc.gov.
