Medicine and Magic – Tiffany Wolfe, Guest Blogger
"I am inspired by nature and Indigenous women. Both created on this land, both important and provide for the people, both continuously fighting to be seen and resisting being replaced by others from outside Turtle Island."
A Diné and a Dené – Hannah Manuelito, Guest Blogger Q&A
"I actually didn’t realize how creepy the situation seemed until we started telling people at the conference how we met haha. Also, it was reassuring that the first night we were singing to each other and some of the songs were Disney songs haha. I knew it was going to be fine after that."
Finding My Art – Brandee Everett, Guest Blogger
"I would wander into the night and find the best location to capture these dancing lights. It made me feel free going out into my little Rez and seeing these lights in the sky, so peaceful and vibrant. I would often think about my grandfather saying, “don’t whistle, they’ll grab you,” and giggle to myself."
What Does It Mean to Stand Up – Tara Williamson, Guest Blogger
"We know that survival and grief are never finished. We know that a mother’s scream is a battle cry. We know that it is our responsibility to stand up."
“Just make me look like Aquaman”: An Essay on Seeing Myself -Smokii Sumac, Guest Blogger
"I came out as a transgender man at 29. For me, this felt late. I remember the first moment I ever said it out loud. I was sitting with one of the first trans men I'd ever met in the shade of a truck at our summer ceremonies in Montana."
wâhkôhtowin & architecture – Reanna Merasty, Guest Blogger
When you experience an upmost connection to these elements, you do not want to disrupt or conquer. There is an interrelationship between the land and us: we should not see ourselves as greater than the land, and we should not have a desire or intend to dominate the land. This experience was wâhkôhtowin.
Bouncing Blueberries and Bannock Buns – Jacq Pelland, Guest Blogger
In my mind’s eye, I see a reality in which exists an explicitly Black, Indigenous and Person Of Colour (BIPOC) owned club where everyone is truly welcome and able to explore their sexuality via accessing and providing sex work in the ways that feel safest and most uplifting to their spirits.
Silent Stories – Jordana Luggi, Guest Blogger
To this day, I feel like I can express myself better through visual language rather than spoken word. And I want to show everyone what I experience when I am with Indigenous folks; pride, strength, belly laughter, cleverness, beauty, irreverent humour, resiliency, creativity, just to name a few. There is so much to offer.
decolonizing family + community parenting – Kelsie Marchand, Guest Blogger
In decolonizing the family, I understand now that there is no shame in raising my children together with the larger community.
