We are excited to listen in on the virtual book launch of Literatures, Communities and Learning by Aubrey Hanson and @wlupress . We are joined by @DaveAlexRoberts @MaracleLee @justicedanielh @richardvancamp.

Aubrey asks the panelists who they hope is reading their work, @DaveAlexRoberts and @justicedanielh emphasize the importance of accessible indigenous writers, so indigenous youth can be empowered to share their own stories and lead the next generation #sevengenerations

Katherena Vermette and Warren Cariou both share that they write for people that grew up like them, whether it be an indigenous youth from the inner city inner city youth, or from a small town in Saskatchewan, in hopes to expand their knowledge. #indigenousyouth

Aubrey asks the panelists why they hope readers will do after reading the literature. Warren and @DaveAlexRoberts both agree that listening is crucial. Listening with your ears, heart and eyes. Listen and learn enough to share your knowledge with others and be truth tellers #ally
