This panel features Chris Hoshnic, Elise Paschen, Kimberly Blaeser, moderated by Rob Arnold. This panel explored the possibilities of translation in Indigenous languages and the creative potential of bilingualism in poetry. We approached translation as a migratory act, one that reveals tensions, ruptures, and resonances between languages. Through poetry and dialogue, we examined how linguistic interplay can foreground fragmentation, resistance, and hybridity. These intersections offered new modes of expression that honor Indigenous epistemologies while simultaneously interrogating colonial legacies.
