Events › Angela Sterritt: Unbroken

In her stunning debut Unbroken, Angela Sterritt connects her personal story of growing up on the streets as a Gitxsan teenager with the ongoing plight of countless missing and murdered Indigenous girls and women here in Canada. This is a story of advocacy, of survival, of justice and above all else, the strength and resilience of Indigenous women.

Join Angela Sterritt in conversation with journalist Tina House for what is sure to be a powerful and enlightening discussion of this important new work.
