Lynn Gehl

In this episode of InDigital Insights, Algonquin Anishinaabe author, artist, and advocate Lynn Gehl joins host Monique Manatch to discuss Indigenous knowledge, artistic practice, and resistance through creative expression. Lynn shares her journey as an artist and activist, including her legal battle in Gehl v. Canada, her exploration of traditional forms like petroforms, wampum belts, and birch bark scrolls, and the deep teachings found in Indigenous symbolic literacy. Her art is a blend of traditional, political, and digital forms rooted in Anishinaabe teachings. The conversation also explores the role of heart knowledge, cultural protocols, and the evolving responsibilities of Indigenous artists and thinkers in the digital age.
