The power of honest introductions | Sarain Fox | TEDxToronto

How do you introduce yourself? Do you acknowledge and share who you really are? Sarain Fox, storyteller, Indigenous activist, and television host, shares stories about the power of introductions as a gateway to our personal truths and to connect us to what we have in common: each other. Of Anishinaabe lineage, Sarain Fox is a dancer, choreographer, activist and television host. A storyteller at heart, Sarain combines these various mediums to amplify the voices of her people in hopes of creating meaningful dialogue between her indigenous community and settler communities. Sarain’s screen highlights include RISE (VICELAND), Cut-Off (VICELAND) and APTN’s Future History. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

gorgeous woman and powerful monologue! so happy that the Canadian education system has incorporated indigenous culture into our classes, and I hope more teachers include this tedtalk in their curriculum.
