I am presenting at the Storytellers Conference held at the University of Buffalo on my work for Ionáktote Aetewatatia’tanónhstate’ - there is space (set aside) Aetewatatia’tanónhstate’ - for us to make it safe for ourselves. The space that I created to supplement the experience of R.G. Miller: Tsi Non:we Entewaha’hara’ne (Our Path Forward), an art exhibit that showcases intense imagery of the abuse that artist R.G. Miller experienced at the Mohawk Institute, a Canadian Indian Residential School.

The 2025 Storytellers Conference highlights research and educational initiatives that promote storytelling as Indigenous knowledge. Presentations will broadly speak to questions such as “how does storytelling highlight Indigenous epistemologies?” and “in what ways is storytelling tied to revitalization and activism?”
