We’ll discuss Her book Becoming Kin:
An Indigenous Call to Unforgetting the Past and Reimagining Our Future, is a remarkable sojourn through Native and settler history, myth, identity, and spirituality that helps us retrace our steps and pick up what was lost along the way: chances to honour rather than violate treaties, to see the land as a relative rather than a resource, and to unravel the history we have been taught.
