Atlantic Book Awards: Indigenous Voices Panel Discussion

Please join us for a special presentation by nominees for this year’s Atlantic Book Awards.

June is National Indigenous History Month, a time to recognize and honour the rich history, heritage, resilience and diversity of First Nations, Inuit and Métis Peoples across Canada.

Authors Mi’sel Joe and Sheila O’Neill (My Indian), Rebecca Thomas (Swift Fox All Along), and Jodie Callaghan (The Train) will come together to discuss Oral history, and the importance of Indigenous people telling their own stories. This online panel will be hosted by Kelly Anne Butler, Indigenous Education Specialist at Memorial University of Newfoundland.
