Thank you everyone for a spectacular day of reading and community with our inaugural Trinity Reads author @waub ! We started off with a visit to @firstnationshouse with office hours in the lodge, then headed to Trinity for the lecture. Very appreciative to @indigenouslitlab and Dr. Jennifer Brant for grounding us in our relations to the land, and to @miiyaabin for enthralling the audience with a dialogue reading of âai tried to code being indianâ before Waubâs incredible keynote. Thank you also to @mohawksoda@oronhienha.wi@bobbileejournal for making this night extra special and to @instagrahamlibrary for arranging the reading rec table (and @queenbooksto for being our favourite bookseller). This was truly a special gathering and incredible way to mark the end of Trinity Reads this year. Safe travels to Waub on the way home and thank you for sharing your time and creative spirit with us!
A look back at our Trinity Reads book fair and championsâ debate! â¨
Nearly 200 readers from across U of T braved the cold to watch 5 outstanding Trinity students defend their shortlist titles, with Moon of the Crusted Snow by @waub eventually taking home the title of our inaugural Trinity Reads pick!
Congratulations to champions @kaelem.moniz@raynlakhani@sincerely_addi@katebesh_@annettekimm and a huge thank you to @the_fold and our wonderful moderator @jaelrichardson for making this night so special.
See you all back in Seeley Hall on the evening of March 25 to celebrate Waubâs visit to campus! Registration details coming soon.
Thanks @scottdionphotography for capturing the show!

We hope that over the spring and summer season, you continue to read books that challenge perceptions of what is possible and seek out storytellers who make this world a better place! Thanks for spending the year with us đ

A beautiful evening with the inaugural Trinity Reads author, Waubgeshig Rice. Nia:wen and thank you Waub for gifting us with story, to Leanne Toshiko Simpson for bringing it all together (including Mohawk Soda âşď¸) and to Miyo for always reminding us of the power of stories đ
One more sleep until @waub joins us on campus! There are just a few more spaces open for tomorrowâs lunch & learn with @zalikarb and Wednesdayâs keynote with @indigenouslitlab - so register asap!
As we move into a new season, a few words from Moon of the Crusted Snow:
âSurvival had always been an integral part of their culture. It was their history. The skills they needed to persevere in this northern terrain, far from their original homeland father south, were proud knowledge held close through the decades of imposed adversity. They were handed down to those in the next generation willing to learn. Each winter marked another milestone.â
