Though I am visiting India as a tourist, to see the place of my ancestors and to meet so many friends that I have made over the past few years, I am always asked to speak. This trip was no different, especially since people wanted to hear about the book, Among the Original Dwellers, that was as much about their history as it was about my ancestors. 
These ​were some of the opportunities:
  • ​7 July Presenting Book to Gossner Theological Seminary @ the inauguration of the newly modeled Library
  • 9 July Economic perspective of the missionary era @ Nirmal College
  • 10 July Presenting Book to Gossner Evangelical Lutheran Church (GELC) and the Nwgelc at the Jubilee Celebration of Autonomy
  • 13 July Summary of Book and Themes @ Navin Doman Theological College (see recording below)
  • 14 & 15 July writing workshop (see some examples of readings in Hindi as samples of heritage stories).
One hour presentation on Among the Original Dwellers, summary, achievements and themes. For B-Th seminary students of the NwGel and CNI.

Listen to the presentation here:
This is a great summary of the whole book: Among the Original Dwellers (2019)
Short samples of stories written in Hindi and English of common day things that are (or were) part of Adivasi culture: Patri Bhat (leaf plate), Karya (loin cloth), Mara Jhail (peacock feather) (sorry for poor sound). If this inspires others who wish to tell other Adivasi stories please contact me. Eventually we hope to publish a collection of stories about cultural heritage.

    Author

    Mary Girard with Bishop Nirmal Minz and his wife, Parakleeta, two remarkable leaders of the Adivasi Christians of Jharkhand. They are writer's themselves and have encouraged me much in my pursuit as a writer and have inspired many others.  I am an author of my first book that is seeking publication. Among the Original Dwellers: Remembering Ferdinand Hahn, tells of the life story of my great great grandfather who was a missionary from 1868-1910 in Chota Nagpur. In writing his story I discovered the story of the Adivasi of the region who were also impacted by his life. I am now committed to inspiring others to learn and write about their Christian Adivasi heritage.
