Poetry Reflections From The Heart: With The Water

You are invited to attend Poetry Reflections, a From the Heart Zoom event. Our theme for the evening is With the Waters.

Three Indigenous poets will share their connection with water through their work and stories: James Pakootas, Stevey Seymour, and Smokii Sumac.

Each guest brings their unique sight, and together with these perspectives and our own reflection, we will share intimacy with the element of Water in our lives. This will be a lyrical and inspiring evening.

James Pakootas (Colville Confederated Tribes) is a modern-day story weaver. He is an award-winning vocalist, producer, and filmmaker who cultivates change in the world through the power of words.

Stevey Seymour the is executive director of the Inchelium Language and Culture Association and organizer of a recent week-long canoe journey along sn̓x̌ʷn̓tkʷítkʷ swift river (the Columbia River), bringing Sinixt and Secwépemc people together.

Smokii Sumac is a Two-Spirit transgender Ktunaxa author, poet and PhD Candidate in Indigenous Studies at Trent University, where his work centers on the question: how do we come home?
