Hear from Ḵung Jaade, Frances Koncan, Selina Boan, & Ashleigh Giffen as they explore the craft, impact, and responsibility of storytelling.
Since time immemorial, Indigenous peoples passed knowledge and culture from generation to generation through storytelling. Stories shape the world, help us understand one another, and imagine what’s possible.
This dynamic panel brings together a diverse group of writers who tell stories through plays, picture books, poems, novels, and more.
FREE! Registration is required to secure your spot. Drop-in seating may be available but is not guaranteed. REGISTER HERE.
More information about the event.
The North Shore Writers Festival (NSWF) is presented in partnership by North Vancouver City Library, North Vancouver District Public Library, and West Vancouver Memorial Library.
The NSWF would not be made possible without support from the Friends of the Library groups at NVDPL and WVML, North Shore Writers’ Association, Kidsbooks, and the North Shore News.
The Festival takes place on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) , and xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) Nations. The Coast Salish Peoples have long used oral storytelling to pass on and preserve their cultural teachings. This powerful tradition highlights the important role that stories play in our lives. We are grateful to host the North Shore Writers Festival on the lands of these Nations and honour the art of storytelling.
