Indigenous Storytelling Month - Poetry Reading & Discussion with Randy Lundy
Indigenous stories are fundamental to the teachings, ceremonies and ways of life of Indigenous people. Indigenous storytelling, focused on the teachings of culture, ceremonies and spirituality, are not viewed as entertainment but as messages. The stories can be funny, sad, scary or disturbing. They may not all have happy endings and they must remain as true to their origins as possible.
Poetry deals with the liberation of personal and inherited trauma, sifting through memories of violence inflicted on Indigenous ancestors.
