Toronto Event: Blazing the Indigenous Feminist Trail

If you're interested the event has a Facebook page (click here), but copied below are some of the highlights.

"Indigenous Feminism" has been taken up as more than just a “theory” by Indigenous academics and activists throughout Turtle Island and beyond. But still many people reject the term. What does “Indigenous Feminism” constitute? Is it just about women? Isn’t feminism a “white-woman’s” thing? Isn’t land really the only issue?

A powerhouse evening featuring two incredible women who have shaped and continue to blaze the Indigenous feminist trail, and who will never be defined solely by one theory.
