The Living Presence of Our History: Part VIII
A Conversation with Indigenous Authors Regarding Representation in Literature
Sunday, March 26 2023 at 1pm

The Living Presence forum continues conversations with Indigenous community members and allies regarding issues we face today as Native peoples. A panel of Indigenous scholars and local authors will discuss the importance of our stories in literature. We will explore how these narratives affect Native and non-Native communities today and the possible steps to educate, decolonize, and make changes using an Indigenous lens.

Panelists

Dr. Debbie Reese, Nambe Pueblo
Yvonne Tiger (ABD), Creek Seminole Cherokee
Professor Eric Gansworth, Onondaga
Morgan Talty, Penobscot
Christopher Newell, Passamaquoddy
Larry SpottedCrow Mann, Nipmuc

Double Edge Theatre acknowledges and recognizes the Indigenous People – the Nipmuc and the Mohican, who have been present and lived on these lands for millennia, and whose travel and cultivation of this land we now benefit from.
We lift up the legacy of the countless peoples of African descent whose blood, bones, bodies, brilliance, and unpaid labor also built and sustained these lands.
Truth, reconciliation, rematriation, and healing will only come with acknowledgment as a first step, followed by cultural and economic reparations and other restorative actions.

On the platform of Art Justice, we build equity and solidarity with the deliberation and intentionality. This commitment includes the artists with whom we collaborate; the neighbors with whom we trade or work; our residency and training participants; and the consultants who helped to guide us. The mission / values / vision / work of Double Edge will always reflect the larger population of our region / our state / our country. Our people, our Ensemble, our collaborators identify themselves rather than being defined by others. Double Edge protects the silence of our internal space, while simultaneously ensuring that no one is silenced.
