We will be hosting a discussion lead by talking about the changing nature of our bear and human populations; and how we can best get along, given our natural behaviors and activities. We will be giving special attention to the question of how to meet the mandatory composting requirement of Act 148 — the state's Universal Recycling Law — that will take effect next year.

“That the People May Live”: The Life and Legacy of
Nicholas Black Elk, Holy Man of the Lakota
Vermont has renamed Columbus day as Indigenous People’s Day, and joins Maine and a half dozen other states.
Gov. Janet T. Mills of Maine said in a statement about the bill:
“There is power in a name and in whom we choose to honor,”
This lecture explores the life and legacy of Nicholas Black Elk
(c. 1866-1950),
the Lakota holy man made famous by the book Black Elk Speaks.
Author and Ethnographer Damian Costello begins with
Black Elk’s Great Vision and his struggle to discern his calling during the events of the Great Sioux War.
During his long life, Black Elk lived out his vision in three overlapping roles: as a traditional healer, a Catholic teacher, and a revivalist of Indigenous traditions. Amid great tragedy, Black Elk wove these three strands into one beautiful life exemplifying survival, hope, and reconciliation. The talk is based on Costello’s extensive historical research, extended residency in Indian Country, and continuing conversations with Lakota elders.

Book Group for September
There, There
by Tommy Orange
Monday, September 30
7:00 PM
Tommy Orange’s shattering novel follows twelve characters from Native communities: all traveling to the Big Oakland Powwow, all connected to each other in ways they may not yet realize. Hailed as an instant classic, There There is at once poignant and laugh-out-loud funny, utterly contemporary and always unforgettable.
Bridges Movie for September
Wednesday Sept. 25th
7 pm Bridges
A political thriller, Dark Money examines one of the greatest present threats to American democracy: the influence of untraceable corporate money on our elections and elected officials. The film takes viewers to Montana—a frontline in the fight to preserve fair elections nationwide—to follow an intrepid local journalist working to expose the real-life impacts of the US Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision.
Through this gripping story, Dark Money uncovers the shocking and vital truth of how American elections are bought and sold. This Sundance award-winning documentary is directed/produced by Kimberly Reed (Prodigal Sons) and produced by Katy Chevigny (E-Team).
Book Recommendations for September
Here's Some Books We All Loved:
The Lost Queen
by Signe Pike
Compared to Outlander and The Mists of Avalon, this thrilling first novel of a debut trilogy reveals the untold story of Languoreth—a forgotten queen of sixth-century Scotland—twin sister of the man who inspired the legend of Merlin.
Disappearing Earth
by Julia Phillips
Spellbinding, moving--evoking a fascinating region on the other side of the world--this suspenseful and haunting story announces the debut of a profoundly gifted writer.
Circe
by Madeline Miller
"A bold and subversive retelling of the goddess's story," this #1 New York Times bestseller is "both epic and intimate in its scope, recasting the most infamous female figure from the Odyssey as a hero in her own right" (Alexandra Alter, The New York Times).
Deep River
by Karl Marlantes
At its heart, Deep River is an ambitious and timely exploration of the place of the individual, and of the immigrant, in an America still in the process of defining its own identity.
Family of Origin
by C. J Hauser
Delightfully funny, fiercely original, high-spirited and warm, Family of Origin grapples with questions of nature and nurture, evolution and mating, intimacy and betrayal, progress and forgiveness.
