HDT Board Member and author Erika Bailey-Johnson will be at the event to sign copies of her new book, Ninisidawenimaag: I See Many Things. This is the first book in a series using both the Ojibwe and English language to connect readers to the beauty around them. English phrases rhyme with Ojibwe words to help readers pronounce the Ojibwe words.  Profits from the sale of the book are dedicated to supporting programs that connect children to the Earth. Find her at the HDT Booth from 1:00-2:00pm!
