We Survived the Night with author Julian Brave NoiseCat

the vibe

Join Julian Brave NoiseCat, a writer, journalist, and director of the Oscar-nominated documentary Sugarcane, for an evening discussing his debut novel "We Survived the Night," which won the Tadeusz Bradecki Prize. This is a literary conversation event where NoiseCat will discuss his book—a hybrid work combining memoir, reportage, and reclamation of Coyote Story tradition—which traces his five-year journey across Indigenous communities in British Columbia, North Carolina, and Alaska as he explores his Secwépemc and St'at'imc father's story and the broader themes of Indigenous identity and leadership. The event takes place at the Mechanics' Institute on Tuesday, September 15 at 6 PM.
