Check out our awesome Graphic Record from the February event Indigenous-Italian-Canadian Connections

In February I co-organized an event with Dr. Paolo Frascà from the Frank Iacobucci Centre for Italian Canadian Studies at the University of Toronto. As an Italian-Canadian woman, I have always wanted to have conversations within my own community about the work we need to reckon with our complex identities and histories as both immigrants and Settlers and to build relationships with Indigenous Nations and support their calls for justice.

Above is the graphic record of the conversation, which consisted of Indigenous-Italian-Canadians, Italian Canadians who have worked in solidarity with Indigenous peoples, and Elder Dr. Robert Phillips. The record was done by Nigit'stil Norbert from Drawing Change and details some of the big ideas that emerged from that conversation.
