Indigenous Stories from Page to Screen brings four literary voices to the Twentynine Palms Book Festival at 12:30 p.m. Saturday, November 14. Natasha Beranek, the festival’s Literary Programs and Editorial Coordinator, hosts Terria Smith, Ruth Nolan and Douglas K. Miller inside the Twentynine Palms Community Center at Freedom Plaza.
