Read, Write, Resist: Exploring the Literary Traditions of the Oceti Sakowin
Advertisement
In this all-ages workshop, participants will learn about the literary traditions of the Lakota, Dakota, and Nakota people. We'll explore historical and contemporary works, challenge misconceptions, and develop new and exciting reading lists. Finally, participants will use the tried and true storytelling devices of the Oceti Sakowin to uplift their own work.
This workshop will be led by Taté Walker, award-winning Two Spirit storyteller. Walker (they/them) is a Lakota citizen of the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe. They also serve as secretary for the Oceti Sakowin Writers Society Board of Directors, which empowers and promotes Lakota, Dakota, and Nakota literary traditions. Learn more about their work and publications at www.jtatewalker.com.
