She is Anishinaabe/Métis and is a proud member of the Turtle Mountain Band of Ojibwe Indians. She was born and raised in Nebraska and currently makes her home in Maryland. Stay for a book signing of her new book: The Gift of the Great Buffalo. www.carolelindstrom.com • @carolelindstrom   \nIn this beautiful and dramatic story\, bestselling author Carole Lindstrom and illustrator Aly McKnight show readers how life was lived by Indigenous communities\, offering the true history of life on the prairie.   \nRose is a young Métis-Ojibwe girl who has traveled far with her family for the biannual buffalo hunt made up of hundreds of other Métis families. The ritual of the hunt has been practiced for generations\, and each hunt must see the community through the next six months. But in recent years\, the buffalo population has dwindled\, and after days on the hunt\, there are no buffalo to be found. Can rose help her family find the herd that will enable them to survive the long winter?   \nAcclaimed author Carole Lindstrom writes both in conversation and in contrast to the iconic Little House on the Prairie books. The Gift of the Great Buffalo is instead from an Indigenous perspective\, featuring Indigenous communities living in harmony with the land and Indigenous girls like Rose having adventures and making a difference. New artist Aly McKnight’s stunning illustrations in watercolor and graphite showcase the intricate details of people\, culture\, and landscapes.   \nThis intimate conversation with Carole Lindstrom is a FREE event.
