This event encourages but does not require registration; see further details below.

Join the Harvard University Native American Program (HUNAP) for a conversation with Angeline Boulley. An enrolled member of the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians, Boulley 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.

Boulley lives in southwest Michigan, but her home will always be on Sugar Island in Michigan. Her debut novel, Firekeeper’s Daughter, was an instant #1 New York Times bestseller. Boulley’s second novel, Warrior Girl Unearthed, was published in 2023 and was an instant New York Times and Indie bestseller. This high-stakes thriller set on Sugar Island reveals the power of discovering your stolen history.

This will be the fifth annual HUNAP Lecture; each talk is intended to elevate and promote the sophistication of Native ideas, arts, literature, and culture. Last year’s lecture was delivered by actress Paulina Alexis, an enrolled member of the Alexis Nakota Sioux Nation of Canada. To learn more about HUNAP, visit the program’s website.
