CONTRIBUTED - Cabot Trail Writers FestivalSYDNEY, N.S. — Every fall, Cape Breton hosts the Cabot Trail Writers Festival, bringing readers and writers together inside intimate venues on the scenic Cabot Trail.
"It's a pretty amazing gathering, partly because we live in an amazing place here in Unama'ki," Currie said."The authors tend to love it too because I think the setting just gives it a whole different vibe." "The festival has been really evolving in terms of thinking about what our role can be as part of decolonization. Indigenous people understand very clearly, and more and more allies understand that decolonization is a necessary step in reconciliation," she said."We've always had diversity among our writers, but there are communities we haven't engaged with, so we're committing to creating space for Indigenous writers.
"It's about Indigenous women writers carrying our work and sharing thoughts about writing," Currie said."It's part of a very deliberate action that the festival took, really deciding to take a space of programming time and invite Indigenous writers to create something for that workshop."
