The Fall City Historical Society will host Llyn de Danaan, author of the 2013 “Katie Gale: A Coast Salish Woman’s Life on Oyster Bay,” as its featured speaker at the group’s annual community meeting, 2 to 5 p.m., Sunday, Oct. 23 at the Fall City Masonic Hall, 4304 337th Place S.E., Fall City. Everyone is welcome to this free event.

De Danaan writes non-fiction historical and anthropological essays and has been a research consultant for Washington Indian tribes since 1991. She received the Washington State Historical Society’s Peace and Friendship award in recognition of her role in fostering understanding of cultural diversity.

Today, De Danaan lives on Oyster Bay, the setting for her non-fiction “Katie Gale.” She began her interest in Gale, born in the mid-1800s, when a grave marker for Katie was found in the woods not far from her home.

She will discuss her research for the Katie Gale story at the meeting. Her appearance is sponsored by Humanities Washington.
