The Junior High will have an author visit with Christine Day, author of We Still Belong, on Friday, September 6.
Christine Day grew up in the suburbs north of Seattle, nestled between the sea, the mountains, and the pages of her favorite books. Her debut novel, I Can Make This Promise, was inspired by her own family's history of finding a Native birthfamily and heritage after adoption. Writing about the Native American experience in history and current day life is important to Christine, who is an enrolled (official) citizen of the Upper Skagit tribe of northwestern Washington state. We Still Belong is about a Wesley Wilder, a young teen much like Christine was, proud of her tribal inheritance and frustrated that it doesn't seem to be very important to the rest of the world.
