It is easy to be overwhelmed and lost between the spheres of life and death. Join Johnnie Jae in a discussion about the struggles to paint your life in shades of happy when grief turns your world gray. Learn to harness the power of healing in the spirit of creation.
This keynote talk inspires us to fully embrace our identities as Indigenous people by acknowledging that our ancestors were ever-evolving, just as we are today. It serves to encourage us to forge a future that honors our past, celebrates our present, and envisions the unlimited potential of our futures that go far beyond what our ancestors could have imagined because of the way that we have been able to fuse our ancestral knowledge with modern advancements to become the science fiction of our ancestors.
