Becoming Kin: An Indigenous Call to Unforgetting the Past and Reimagining Our Future

In her work, Anishinaabe writer Patty Krawec explores the impact of settler colonialism and the importance of reconnecting with Indigenous ways of knowing. By weaving her personal story with the broader themes of creation and kinship, Krawec challenges the dominant narrative of Western history and offers a vision for a future where we recognize our interconnectedness with the land and each other. She calls on readers to "unforget" history, honor treaties, and embrace a more relational approach to life.
