Join the Harvard University Native American Program for a lecture by Tommy Orange, titled “The View From Here: POV, Its History and Uses in Fiction.”

Tommy Orange is a citizen of the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma and the author of There There, one of the New York Times’ top books of 2018 and a Pulitzer Prize Finalist.

This will be the third installment of the HUNAP Annual Lecture, a series of talks intended to elevate and promote the sophistication of Native ideas, arts, literature, and culture. Last year’s lecture was delivered by author David Treuer, an Ojibwe Indian from Leech Lake Reservation in northern Minnesota. To learn more about HUNAP, visit the program’s website.
