Hosted by 2010 Aqua Books Writer-in-Residence David Robertson (author of The Life of Helen Betty Osborne and the upcoming four-book series 7 Generations), the end of each night will feature a short panel discussion on Aboriginal experiences of both writing in and about Manitowapow.
“Helen Betty Osborne’s story is well known but still the injustices that affected her murder and the subsequent investigation is still around today,” says Robertson. “So I saw an opportunity to use her story to lead into further learning and further knowledge of the justice system and our Aboriginal women.”
