How I followed the Buffalo Home

The SWG and host Heather O’Watch invite you to help us in welcoming Deidre Havrelock! Travel with Deidre through her writer’s journey. From passion to failure to confusion, a disenchanted and very much lost Deidre eventually follows the Buffalo home to her first published children’s book titled ‘Buffalo Wild!”

Presenter

Deidre Havrelock is a children’s author. She is a member of Saddle Lake Cree Nation, but grew up in Edmonton, AB, Canada, with a ghost in her house, a feminist for a grandma, and wishing she had a buffalo for a pet! Currently, she resides in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Deidre is the author of Buffalo Wild!, Why We Dance, The Heartbeat Drum, Indigenous Ingenuity co-authored with Edward Kay, and the upcoming books Bison Belong and Buffalo.
