Part 2 of a three-part workshop hosted by Ela Smith that journeys through First Nations, Inuit, and Metis relations with settlers. As the title indicates, you don't know, what you don't know so everyone is welcome. You will be introduced to the concept of Miskasowin (wholistic self-evaluation) that will define content, context, and relationship promoting further action, accountability, and responsibilities as a treaty person in this land now known as Canada.

The Indigenous Speakers Series is honoured to present Chelsea Vowel, a public intellectual, writer, educator, and Associate Lecturer in the Faculty of Native Studies at the University of Alberta.

Please join us on February 8 for Chelsea's engaging presentation "âniskôhôcikan, Like a String of Beads: Indigenous Futurisms." Indigenous futurisms, a term coined by Grace Dillon and indebted to Afrofuturism, seeks to describe a movement of art, literature, games, and other forms of media that express Indigenous perspectives on the future, present, and past. How can Indigenous futurisms help us think and act otherwise?

Please note: Registration is appreciated but not required. Everyone is welcome! 

This workshop is often taken fourth, however it can be completed at any point as in individual session or as part of the certificate.
