Events › Markham Reads: In Conversation with Angeline Boulley

In celebration of Markham Reads 2021's winning book, Firekeeper's Daughter by Angeline Boulley, we have prepared a summer full of programs that celebrate Indigenous joy and creation.

We are honoured to announce that Angeline Boulley will be joining us for an evening of conversation about her New York Times Bestseller, "Firekeeper's Daughter." Angeline will do a brief reading of the novel and talk about her writing journey.

Angeline Boulley, an enrolled member of the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians, is a storyteller who writes about her Ojibwe community in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. She is a former Director of the Office of Indian Education at the U.S. Department of Education. Angeline lives in southwest Michigan, but her home will always be on Sugar Island. Firekeeper's Daughter is her debut novel, and was an instant #1 NYT Bestseller.
