Kingston WritersFest presents ‘Paths to Understanding: Indigenous Women Write’, with Lee Maracle, author of My Conversations with Canadians.

Author and radio journalist Rosanna Deerchild, a member of O-Pipon-Na-Piwan Cree Nation, author Lee Maracle, a member of the Stó:lō Nation, daughter of a Métis mother and Salish father, author and activist Leanne Betasamosake Simpson, a Michi Saagiig Nishnaabeg and member of Alderville First Nation and of Idle No More, join moderator Terri-Lynn Brennan, whose roots are in the Mohawk Nation. Together, they talk about their work, and the importance of contemporary Indigenous women’s literature in knowledge-making and sharing, reflecting upon the relationship between First Nations peoples, the descendants of the European settlers who inhabit their traditional lands, and recent immigrant arrivals who now populate and share it.

Presented in the Bellevue Room.
