We’ll ask everyone to switch to a different Zoom link to hear from the Conference keynote speaker Tahmoh Penikett. We are excited and hono(u)red to have Tahmoh join us to share reflections on his own experiences with the impacts of artificial borders and to stimulate reflection and conversation.
Tahmoh Penikett is an actor especially recognized for his roles in many genre TV series. Born in Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada, Tahmoh is of the Tanana people. They are his blood relations and family. He has a strong connection and is extremely devoted to his family with whom he spends time whenever possible. He has a strong connection to Tanana traditions and love of storytelling.
