Confluence: An Indigenous Writers’ Workshop

Save the date! Confluence: An Indigenous Writers’ Workshop returns for its second year. Created in partnership with author and MotCP board member Annette Saunooke Clapsaddle (Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians), the series of workshops offers citizens of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians access to high-quality writing instruction from the world’s top Indigenous writers at no cost.

Two tracks are offered during Confluence: Christine Day (Upper Skagit Indian Tribe), author of the acclaimed middle-grade novel We Still Belong, leads a track focused on Young Adult Fiction. Calling For A Blanket Dance author Oscar Hokeah (Cherokee Nation, Kiowa Tribe of Oklahoma) will instruct participants in the art of Literary Fiction. Each track will foster a welcoming environment for creative expression, discussion, and exchange. Space is limited, and registration is required.
