Selected comments:
“Wonderful presentation on a topic that is so important and so lacking in availability. Thank you.”
“As someone coming from Indonesia, which was also colonized for a long time, it's really interesting to see the parallels of how women were central to holding the community and people values together under duress. And also how these efforts are sometimes overlooked.”
“Very empowering for an Ojibwe woman to hear the stories of these strong women.”
