This year’s theme is All My Relations.

All My Relations is a term used by some Indigenous Peoples of Turtle Island to express that everything is interconnected. Humans, animals, insects, plants, and inanimate objects are all related. We are connected through ancestors, land, communities, air, water – everything.

Guests will speak about Indigenous identity through conversations about representation in sports and entertainment, Indigenous comedy as culture and healing, merging traditional and contemporary fashion, the challenges of healthcare in the north and beyond, reconciliation as recolonization, and more.
