Surviving Together with Patty Krawec

How do we survive together—and what might become possible if we remember that we are all related?

Join All My Relations Book Club at Tidelands for an evening with Anishinaabe writer Patty Krawec, author of Becoming Kin: An Indigenous Call to Unforgetting the Past and Reimagining Our Future.

In Becoming Kin, Krawec asks us to find our way forward by looking back—to histories that have been erased or distorted, to relationships disrupted by settler colonialism, and to Indigenous understandings of kinship that offer another way of imagining our responsibilities to one another and to the land.

Braiding history, personal story, cultural analysis, Indigenous ways of knowing, and communal memory, Krawec challenges readers to “unforget” the histories we have inherited and consider what it means to become better relatives.
