with Lindsay Keegitah Borrows
Webinar Date: November 25, 2020 / 12-1pm PT

Keegitah's love for the Land, water and story-telling inspired her to explore law as a way to strengthen relationships between humans and non-humans in the spaces we call home. She will share stories from her book “Otter’s Journey” to explore how Indigenous language revitalization can inform the emerging field of Indigenous legal revitalization.
