About the Event

The Wisconsin Historical Society Speakers Bureau offers an exciting opportunity for our historians, curators and authors to visit your community and share the stories of our great state.

Join Oneida author and poet Louis V. Clark III (Two Shoes) as he shares How to Be an Indian in the 21st Century, his collection of deceptively simple poems that reveals a profound life story of loss, identity, race, and culture. A wryly funny story of family, fatherhood, food and football. A love story. A ghost story. A story of survival.

Clark will share his own American Indian story, talking frankly about a culture's struggle to maintain its heritage and discovering for himself what it means to be an American Indian. Copies of his book will be available for sale and signing.
