Iiniistsi“: Blackfoot word for ‘treaty’: a new beginning, making peace, creating harmony.

REDx Talks: the Indigenized speaker series. A platform to explore Indigenous world views through short presentations from great thinkers who live, work, study and create within global Indigenous communities.

We’re happy to be helping spread the word about this groundbreaking event, and will be publishing more information on this, and other projects from Calgary’s Iiniistsi Art Society, in the weeks to come.

The official announcement to the public of this speaker series will launch tomorrow at Mount Royal University, and we formally invite all members of both the public and media to join us.
