Video Title:
Indigenous Youth Poet Warriors | Youth in Action
Description:
How does poetry inspire change? The language of poetry, chosen and arranged for its meaning, sound, and rhythm, inspires the imagination and evokes an emotional response. Young Indigenous poets use written and spoken word to express their worldviews and advocate for personal and community needs. In celebration of the 23rd Poet Laureate of the United States, Joy Harjo (Mvskoke [Creek] Nation), Native youth share how this “poet and champion of justice” has inspired their own writings. Panelists: jaye simpson (Sapotaweyak Cree Nation), Kinsale Drake (Diné), Sareya Taylor (White Mountain Apache/Diné). Moderator: Kelly Caballero (Tongva) Youth in Action: Conversations about Our Future is an online series hosted by the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of the American Indian. These moderated panel discussions serve as a national platform for young Native changemakers from across the Western Hemisphere to amplify their efforts through civic engagement and social justice work for Indigenous peoples.
