Indigenous typographies are trending within the larger global push toward multilingual and multi-scriptural practices. These forces have brought North American indigenous languages and their typographic representations into the global spotlight. How might individuals start to think about, navigate, and operate within this complex and developing context? This presentation will share creative practices, pedagogical outcomes, and efforts to establish a critical discourse.
