Indigenous Voices Award winners announced

This public event will be hosted by Hip Hop artist Brad Bellegarde (aka InfoRed), and it will feature readings by emerging Indigenous writers as well as appearances by jurors Kateri Akiwenzie-Damm, Gregory Scofield, Jean Sioui, and Richard Van Camp. The IVAs were established in 2017 to nurture and support Indigenous literary art in its diversity and complexity. Begun as a crowd-funded campaign seeking to raise a few thousand dollars to support emerging Indigenous writers, the IVAs have raised over $125,000 to date from over 1,500 different donors.
