There is a force among women which Priscilla Settee calls Âhkamêyimowak, or persistence, which provides the strength for women to carry on in the face of extreme adversity. Âhkamêyimowak, also the title of Settee’s new book, is a Cree word and embodies the strength that drives women to survive, flourish and work for change in their communities. Join Priscilla as she shares women’s stories from her book – both powerful personal stories as well as those describing institutional relationships that keep Indigenous women in Canada—along with women generally, people of colour, Indigenous peoples and youth around the world—in the margins. In both cases, the clarity of vision that comes from the margins is astounding and compelling.

This event is presented as part of "Moon Voices in ACTion! Indigenous Women's Knowledge Exchange".
