Bookstore Reading from The Reindeer of Chinese Gardens

Local Northwest author Barbara Sjoholm reads from her new historical novel, The Reindeer of Chinese Gardens. Set in Port Townsend in the late 1800s against a background of Chinese immigration, the Yukon Gold Rush, and a group of Sámi reindeer herders recruited from Lapland to supply the miners, the novel tells the riveting story of Norwegian-born Dagny Bergland, who learns to steer a new course in a new country.

        We acknowledge that Whatcom County is located on the unceded territory of the Coast Salish Peoples. They cared for the lands that included what we’d call the Puget Sound region, Vancouver Island and British Columbia since time immemorial. This gives us the great obligation and opportunity to learn how to care for our surrounding areas and all the natural and human resources we require to live. We express our deepest respect and gratitude for our indigenous neighbors, the Lummi Nation and Nooksack Tribe, for their enduring care and protection of our shared lands and waterways.
