Ndé-geneity: The Glittering World of Apache Poetics, Orature & Art
Friday, March 25, 2022
9:00 am to 10:00 am
There has never been a panel from/by Apache writers who discuss their written, made, or spoken discourses.The panel addresses ways we engage Apache culture, stories, symbols, and representation through language (Apache, English). Panelists' conversation and poetry readings will make linkages between Ndé identity, story, and historical remnants of mythologies, remaking the memorial, emergence and resurgence of authority through the written word, and the inroads this makes for all Indigenous poets.
