Fellows and faculty of the 2026 Indigenous Nations Poetry (In-Na-Po) retreat for emerging writers read from their work. Six fellows (Kentaro Herder, Mariana Rivera, Danielle Shandiin Emerson, Robert Harold Bordeaux, Max Early, and Halee Kirkwood) read alongside faculty members Bojan Louis, Kimberly Blaeser, and Laura Tohe. A group reading of "Flag Song," a collaborative poem written throughout the retreat, concludes the event. This is the second reading in a two-night series.
