Our Words, Our Worlds: First Nations, Truth Telling and Forgotten Causes
This opening keynote panel brings together writers and thinkers Safiah Rind, Eugenia Flynn, and Jumana Abdu to reflect on words as acts of resistance, remembrance, and responsibility. Facilitated by Sara Saleh, this conversation explores First Nations truth-telling, silenced histories, and the interconnectedness of so-called “forgotten” causes across borders.
