Poetry as an Engine of Indigenous Identity

Presented by Mike Johnston

Indigenous identities have now become an important piece of the gift economy, so it becomes essential to see the stories that we carry as the gifts they are. This presentation will give educators tools, strategies and tangible activities to use in their work that will use poetry as an engine to highlight and amplify authentic Indigenous voices, stories and experiences as an act of reclamation and reconciliation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sncHXg6pevs
