It has been a pleasure and an honour to talk with @TraceyLindberg who spoke with such kindness, fairness, and love. I am grateful for this experience and encourage anyone to listen to Tracey's words. Her stories, teachings, and wisdom may change you https://t.co/Y2HBSBf2Mg

Thank you to all the writers who generously submitted their work to Issue 1. Each piece we've read so far, regardless of whether it was accepted, was thrilling, awe-inspiring, thought-provoking and a delight to read.

[The Walrus @thewalrus]

Writer Lee Maracle has passed away. From #TheWalrusArchive, read "Scent Of Burning Cedar," an essay by the Salish writer. https://t.co/bAPno306bj

[Valentina @valentinaderiso]

With deep care, wisdom, wit, humour, and compassion, Lee Maracle has helped us look at relationships and our place in the world in another way. Her words are forever in my heart. Celia's Song continues to accompany me in my journey and I am grateful. "Haitchka siem" ❤

[Alicia Elliott - AND THEN SHE FELL out now! @WordsandGuitar]

Thinking about Lee Maracle, and how, when all Canadian publishers refused to publish "Bobbi Lee, Indian Rebel" because they said it wouldn't sell, she went out and made a petition of people who said they'd buy her book to convince them otherwise. She bulldozed space for NDN women

[Treatied Spaces @treatiedspaces]

1/2 This is one example. British students getting a dated and distorted view of Native American history: exam Qs ask about 'destruction', 'defeat', as 'obstacles' to expansion, as peoples who took 'little action' on to defend their rights. https://t.co/p1rknKeEwz

[Spooky Gaze @spooky_gaze]

Another solid reminder that we will be looking at submissions till November 10! ✨💞👁️
