Celebrate Native American Heritage Month with local Native American authors!

Join Native American authors Kate Hart, Toni Jensen and Andrea Rogers for a discussion on their writing, books, how being Native American shapes their point of view and more. This discussion will be moderated by Alaynna Littlefeather (Diné).

Kate Hart is the author of "After the Fall" (Farrar, Straus and Giroux 2017) and a contributor to the anthologies "Never Whistle at Night" (Penguin RandomHouse 2024), "Davy June's Legendary Fry Bread Drive-In" (Heartdrum 2025), "Out Now" (Inkyard 2020), "Body Talk" (Algonquin 2020), "Toil and Trouble" (Harlequin Teen 2018), and "Hope Nation" (Philomel 2018). Before becoming a writer, Kate earned degrees in Spanish and history at Hendrix College, taught preschool and middle school and wrote grants for a nonprofit supporting adults with disabilities. Born in Oklahoma and raised in Arkansas, she is a citizen of the Chickasaw Nation with Choctaw heritage and lives with her family on an Ozark mountainside, where she co-owns Natural State Treehouses and sells fiber arts and beadwork as Kate Hart Studio. 

Toni Jensen’s "Carry: A Memoir of Survival on Stolen Land" (Ballantine 2020) is a memoir-in-essays about gun violence, land and Indigenous women’s lives. An National Endowment for the Arts Creative Writing Fellowship recipient in 2020, Jensen's essays have appeared in "Orion", "Catapult" and "Ecotone". She is also the author of the short story collection From the "Hilltop". She teaches at the University of Arkansas and the Institute of American Indian Arts. She is Métis.

Andrea L. Rogers is a citizen of the Cherokee Nation. She grew up in Tulsa, Oklahoma. She has a picture book from Heartdrum called "When We Gather" (2024) and a picture book from Levine Querido called "Chooch Helped" (2024). Andrea’s YA collection of short horror stories, "Man Made Monsters" (Levine Querido 2022), received six starred reviews and won the Walter Dean Myers Award for Teens. Her newest novel is "The Art Thieves" (Levine Querido 2024), a Cherokee Futurism. She lives in Fayetteville, Arkansas and can be found at andrealrogers.com.

Books will be available from Pearl's Book before and after the event.
