One of the CoLang special events is Poetry Night on Monday, June 13, 2022 at 7pm, at ALI Auditorium, University of Montana.  Ofelia Zepeda (Tohono O'odham linguist and poet) is our featured poet. She will be reading her poetry and signing books at the event.

She is the current editor of Sun Tracks, which was launched in 1971 and is one of the first publishing programs to focus exclusively on the creative works of Native Americans.
