Unbroken: My Fight for Survival, Hope, and Justice for Indigenous Women and Girls

Free

In this Indigenous Speakers Series session, we will have a conversation with Angela Sterritt, an award-winning investigative journalist, TV, radio, and podcast host, and national bestselling author for her book Unbroken. Angela is from the Wilp Wiik’aax (we-GAK) of the Gitanmaax (GIT-in-max) community within the Gitxsan (GICK-san) Nation on her dad’s side and from Bell Island, Newfoundland on her maternal side. In this conversation, we will learn about the context of missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls within the context of truth, reconciliation and redress. REGISTER.

The Indigenous Speakers Series is led by Derek K. Thompson – Čaabať Bookwilla | Suhiltun, Director of Indigenous Engagement, Faculty of Medicine, and is organized by the Faculty of Medicine’s Office of Respectful Environments, Equity, Diversity & Inclusion (REDI).
