 **Ancestral Futures: Indigenous Cardinal Relations** is a 3-day weekend International First Nations/Indigenous/Native American Creative, Critical Engagement Cultural Symposium.

 Participants from Australia, Aotearoa/NZ, Australia, Canada and the USA are being invited to attend a three-day gathering/symposium comprising keynote with respondent, film screening, panel discussions by, from and with international Indigenous critical thinkers and creative-led researchers: academics, creative practitioners, collection stewards, curators, educators, researchers and scholars.

 This symposium will gather together international First Nations/Indigenous cultural advocates to critically analyze our positionalities and relationalities within our respective un/settler-colonial nation-states and on inter/intra/national homelands, considering work over the last four decades and whatis required to strengthen our collective Ancestral Futures.

 Ancestral Futures, Critical Indigenous Studies, Creative-led Research, Performative Collaborative Autoethnography, Relationality and Storywork are some of the methodologies and theories that will frame/guide discussion.
