knowledge at conferences, meetings, and/or workshops." They also state that, "creative works and activities associated with Indigenous nations are also encouraged."</div>

Because I've been asked this in the past, please understand that indigeneity is a broad, international category, referring to the identity of a person or group of people who are descendants of a region's original inhabitants. It also extends to those diasporic
