The Chief’s Light: A Poetic Exploration of Indigenous Masculinity
Cliff Taylor
Drawn from portraits of elders, uncles, fathers, and spiritual men, combined with the import of ceremony, dreams, and traditional culture, this poetry reading/storytelling session aims to explore deep masculinity from an Indigenous perspective.
Beneath our brokenness, colonization, and pain, there is a body and soul of heart-centered masculinity ready to flower forward into our lives.
