ᑌᐹᒋᒧᐎᓐ is a dedicated space for sharing our writing, conversations and reflections on Indigenous Literatures.

ᑌᐹᒋᒧᐎᓐ means to speak with truth in dialogue with others. It is to speak in a way that aligns with the Omushkego Principles of Life. Using the word  ᑌᐹᒋᒧᐎᓐ is to recognize the animation and life within the text of Indigenous literatures. To engage with the text of Indigenous literatures is to be in conversation with the lived experiences of the author, and the lived experiences of an entire community. Guiding our conversation with the principle of speaking truth in a respectful way is to affirm and honour the life inherent to speculative Indigenous literatures.

Stay tuned for written entries!
