Today we were very lucky to listen to Katherine Palmer Gordon speak about her book "We Are Born with the Songs Inside Us: Lives and Stories of First Nations People in British Columbia". Katherine gave us the background to various stories presented in the book as well as her motivation for writing such an important collection of biographies. She addressed questions on both the experience of being a writer and the issues faced by people of Aboriginal ancestry in contemporary Canadian Society. Anne Tenning (who is featured in one of the chapters) also attended and added commentary.
