We’re delighted to welcome Dayton-based attorney and author David Fierst to the library on Thursday, September 4 at 6:00 PM for a presentation on his insightful debut book, Hidden Disgrace: Revealing the Distress Signals Covered by North American Indian Myths.
Inspired by a visit to the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota, Fierst’s deeply researched work challenges oversimplified historical narratives—dismantling stereotypes such as “savages” or “noble savages” and uncovering the nuanced realities of Indigenous peoples. His thoughtful exploration of how myths reflect complex social truths promises a powerful and thought-provoking evening that you won’t want to miss.
