Surviving the Zombie Apocalypse: Rez Style is a creative discussion of the trauma, recovery, and resilience of Indigenous people from a pop-cultural lens made popular by George A. Romero and The Walking Dead. It is an exploration of the way that Indigenous knowledge, science, weaponry, and values helped Indigenous communities survive in the aftermath of their own apocalyptic realities and how it has prepared them to survive anything, especially ZOMBIES. It is a fun and unique way to discuss trauma and recovery with youth and young adults.
