This panel features Joan Naviyuk Kane, Bonney Hartley, and Desireé Bewley Dallagiacomo, moderated by Rob Arnold.
How do we define Indigenous poetics outside the frameworks imposed by Western literary traditions? How can literature, poetry, and visual art serve as tools of resistance, healing, and sovereignty? How can we support Indigenous poetry for greater visibility and connection across geographical spaces? And how can we foster both critical thinking and creative responsibility to ensure visibility for all Native writers?
This panel explored the power of Indigenous artistic expression as a method of reclaiming narrative, asserting tribal sovereignty, and building sustainable, community-driven platforms for visibility and support. We considered how Indigenous poetics, rooted in land, language, and lived experience, resist colonial boundaries and offer expansive possibilities for cultural survival and transformation.
