Episode 066: A Grandmother Begins the Story

Welcome Dear Readers. This month we are discussing A Grandmother Begins the Story by Michelle Porter.

You are listening to Time to Read, a Winnipeg Public Library podcast book club. We are recording today from the Millennium Library, located in Treaty One Territory, the home and traditional lands of the Anishinaabe (Ojibwe), Ininew (Cree), and Dakota peoples, and in the National Homeland of the Red River Métis. Our drinking water comes from Shoal Lake 40 First Nation, in Treaty Three Territory.
