Presenter: Kim Sigafus McIver

Wednesday, July 16 at 2 pm at the Geneseo Public Library 

The Geneseo Public Library is proud to present a program by an accomplished writer and speaker, Kim Sigafus McIver.  Kim is an Ojibwa author whose interactive presentation about Native Culture and History will be of interest to all ages. 

Kim believes that education is an ongoing process for everyone, and she enjoys teaching curious listeners about her heritage.  She will be dressed in her native regalia and will give a history of natives in Illinois with a focus on native women, or what was considered “The Hidden Half.” 

Kim has written non-fiction, children’s and young adult books.  She has traveled all over the Midwest to bring her native culture to life.  Her family is from White Earth Reservation, located in the northwest corner of Minnesota.  Kim’s Ojibwa name is “Bekaadiziikwe,” which means “quiet woman.” She sings and drums.
 
Please join us at the library on Wednesday, July 16 at 2 pm to experience this cultural event. Kim will have an assortment of books she has written available for sale.
