A new book by a Native American writers' group will be part of the 14th
annual South Dakota State University Conference on American Indian
History and Culture.
The conference will take place on the SDSU campus Feb. 22 and 23. About
200 people are expected to attend.
"This Stretch of the River" is produced by the Oak Lake Writers'
Society, a statewide society of tribal writers dedicated to
culture-based writing. The book gives the Lakota, Dakota and Nakota
perspective on the Lewis and Clark expedition and bicentennial through
poetry, memoir and historical and critical essays.
