Event Description

Turtle Island to Abya Yala began as a vision to unite Indigenous women from North and South America through art, poetry, and song. This began through the creation of the Xochiquetzalli Award for Poetry and the anthology, Turtle Island to Abya Yala. This event will feature our community of women.
