The Landscape of Memory writing Workshop with Sasha LaPointe

The Landscape of Memory

The places we most often return to in our writing are the places we know. These places carry

weight. As Native writers there is often an expectation to only write our traditional homelands.

These places of course can be important but sometimes we’ve been removed from these places,

sometimes these places are heavy with memory, with traumas both lived and inherited. What

happens when we begin to map our places according to moments and memory? Places of origin.
