Hugh C. Hyde Living Writers’ Series with Author and Filmmaker Julian Brave NoiseCat

About

Julian Brave NoiseCat will share excerpts from his debut book, We Survived the Night. Of the work Louise Erdrich raves, “Julian Brave NoiseCat seamlessly connects true tales of identity and betrayal, love and abandonment, clarity and confusion. We Survived the Night is a whirling, radiant gift to the reader.”

Julian Brave NoiseCat is a writer, filmmaker, champion powwow dancer, and student of Salish art and history. His first book, We Survived the Night, a national bestseller, won the Tadeusz Bradecki Prize for an imaginative work in English. His first documentary, Sugarcane, directed alongside Emily Kassie was nominated for an Academy Award, making NoiseCat the first Indigenous North American filmmaker ever nominated for an Oscar. A member of the Canim Lake Band Tsq’escen and descendant of the Lil’Wat Nation of Mount Currie, NoiseCat resides on Kitsilano Indian Reserve No. 6 with his partner and their son.

This event is co-sponsored by the MALAS Program, SDSU Press, and the Instructionally Related Activities Fund.
