Memoir is more than a personal record—it’s a vessel of memory, resilience, and cultural continuity. In this powerful conversation, Indigenous leaders, writers, and knowledge keepers—Stephen Kakfwi, Katłı̨̀ą Lafferty, and Niigaan Sinclair—gather to explore the role of memoir in preserving history, healing trauma, and affirming identity. Moderated by acclaimed author Richard Van Camp, this panel dives deep into the craft of life writing, the responsibilities of storytelling, and the transformative power of sharing truth across generations.
