Join us for a conversation with award winning Nehiyaw writer, editor, policy analyst, and visual artist Emily Riddle. Governance is ultimately about how we care for each other. It's the principles we collectively agree to uphold. Colonial forces have made Indigenous governance masculine and heteronormative. A core component of this particular affront to our lifeways was to disconnect us from one another and radical systems of care. But Queer Indigenous writers and artists are not only making commentary on Indigenous governance and laws, but enacting it within webs of community through their art and actions. This talk explores further ways of which Indigenous governance is still gay and how can work towards further melding our world of art and policy to reflect the needs and visioning four communities. Emily Riddle is Nehiyaw and a member of the Alexander First Nation (Kipohtakaw). A writer, editor, policy analyst, language learner, and visual artist. She lives in Amiskwaciwâskahikan (Edmonton). She is the senior advisor, Indigenous Relations at the Edmonton Public Library. Her writing has been published in the The Globe and Mail, Teen Vogue, the Malahat Review, and Room Magazine, among others. Her debut book, The Big Melt which will be published by Nightwood Editions in spring 2023. In 2020, she was shortlisted for the CBC prize and in 2021 was awarded the Edmonton Artists' Trust Fund Award. She sits on editorial boards for Coach House Books and GUTS Maazine. Emily is a semi-dedicated Oilers Fan and a dedicated Treaty 6 descendant, who deeply believes in the brilliance of the prairies and its people.
