Retelling Our Stories: Using Writing as Resistance to Inaccurate Historical Perspectives
with Vivian Faith Prescott
This interactive workshop will focus on how Indigenous peoples use writing to revise history and as resistance to inaccurate historical perspectives. We will examine the works of Andy Hope III, Ernestine Hayes, Nora Dauenhauer, Vivian Mork and others. The workshop will be geared towards writers, educators, scholars and those interested in utilizing a variety of methods to teach and explore history. Plus, the workshop will provide tips on: writing, the publishing process, writing how-to-books, and organizing an Indigenous writers group in your community.
