An engaging discussion is anticipated Tuesday, at Station 20 West in Saskatoon, when three Indigenous scholars — Kim TallBear, Audra Simpson and Kim Anderson — will be sharing insights on feminism.

The event, Indigenous Feminisms Power Panel, references feminism in the plural.

“Even within those of us who really identified as Indigenous feminists, there are really different histories or genealogies of how we got to here,” TallBear, an associate professor in the faculty of native studies at the University of Alberta, explained. “And that’s in addition to how it might be seen as different from white women’s feminism.”

TallBear noted that the examination of the topic has evolved over the last 30 years as Indigenous women have considered their roles and how they are defined.
