Medicine Word Poets

We are a collective of Indigenous people, no matter which side of the imaginary lines called borders we come from. Medicine Word Poets come from all Nations: Kiowa, Muscogee, Diné, Sicangu Lakota, Itazipco Lakota. We recognize the power in spoken words and share these medicine words with our community. Whether the words are angry, peaceful, anguished or humorous, we believe in the honesty of our experience. Our connections to each other, as Indigenous people, are important in maintaining our integrity and way of life.
