"In Anishinaabek (Indigenous) communities, traditional firekeepers not only strike and tend fires at ceremonies and other events, but they also provide cultural teachings through stories shared around the fire. Storytelling is how we share what it means to be human. Representation in literature provides opportunities to see Indigenous children and teens as complex and nuanced individuals living dynamic lives. Author Angeline Boulley will share her 38-year-long path to publication, along with examples of other Young Adult novels featuring Indigenous protagonists, to demonstrate the importance of Indigenous storytelling."
