Joy Harjo
Stephanie Arne
Harjo will be in Brookings December 4 for a reading and discussion at SDSU’s Oscar Larson Performing Arts Center. Register for free tickets at BrookingsArtCouncil.org.
Amidst her busy schedule as a wildlife conservation professional, deep sea diver, and tiny house enthusiast (her home is 200 square ft. and on wheels), Arne checks in with her South Dakota roots on SDPB’s In the Moment most first Tuesdays of the month.
Joy Harjo is an internationally known award-winning poet, writer, performer, and saxophone player of the Mvskoke/Creek Nation. Harjo grew up in Oklahoma and has been writing poetry since the 1970s. This year, Harjo became poet laureate of the United States, the first Native American to hold the position bestowed by the Library of Congress.
In the meantime, Harjo joins Lori Walsh in conversation on SDPB’s In the Moment Tuesday, Nov. 19.

In 2013, Stephanie Arne was selected from 200 candidates and three finalists to be the “Wild Guide” for Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom. A 2005 graduate of SDSU, Arne is the first female host of Wild Kingdom, a post popularized by the iconic Marlin Perkins.
Join Arne and host Lori Walsh as they discuss conservation issues as they affect South Dakota, including the plastic problem, wildlife habitat restoration, and how South Dakotans can do their part to keep the oceans clean.
