If you haven’t read this yet, you should. As with Braiding Sweetgrass, Kimmerer provides much needed food for thought about how the Indigenous teachings and practices that came from this land are what can help it and us heal and be happy #readindigenous #booksky

#WIPwednesday showing off my super slow progress on this super cute pattern from Mamawitch #crossstitch

#CBCpodcasts has been keeping me company, and this one is a great listen. Mystery, murder, con artistry, and all the British accents you can handle

Yes! Even though horror isn’t my usual genre either, the indigenous authors were killing it in 2024 ! Hayden Taylor’s Cold, John’s Bad Cree, and the Never Whistle at Night collection are all must reads #booksky #readindigenous

It was great the first time, but years later, the reread slaps harder. So much going below the surface in all of Robinson’s writings set in her home territory. Stories that lead to others; it’s easy to get lost in this world of so much darkness, trauma, magic, and resilience #booksky #readindigenous

If you read any additional Canadian lit, I’d love to join for a chat and a waffle

Did some excellent reading during Black History Month #booksky

Serviceberry is an excellent short read for helping to refresh a vision for a more harmonious world

For the revolution on the go

Yes, please! Look at all that adorable

No spoilers, but excited for you to finish and then recommend a dozen more must reads from Cherie Dimaline!

It’s a late stage capitalism, colonizer move, straight of the British empire.

Wall display for Willie Thrasher.

Cool to see Willie Thrasher get a feature wall at the National Music Centre at Studio Bell in Calgary.

This is an amazing collection of mentors. What a cool opportunity.

Are you teaching them this, or telling them this? As current students are only newbies in AI, many of them genuinely don’t know responsible use. I wonder, is it our job, and if so in what department, do we teach students the these skills? Especially as we too are learning in real time.

Also here to say OMG so cool, and hope for streaming or a recording made available later for us VI islanders to enjoy too <3

Yes to all of these, and would add Archive 81 and life/after ( the GE Theatre production)

So happy to sit with fellow teachers today to hear stories, talk about Reconciliation through education , and to weave together

We Canadian high school teachers have our hands on it now and we are thrilled to have a contemporary collection of Indigenous horror. We can’t stop recommending it to one another, so I predict many more best selling weeks to come!

Between those two sci-fi collections and Never Whistle at Night, it’s been an indigenous short story bonanza. I love these anthologies as a way to meet new authors !

If you want to add to those tears, know that this poem appears as prologue in the beautiful novel Indian Horse by Richard Wagamese. Reading the novel with this poem as its lens is a truly worthwhile experience.

If you’re looking for a shorter read, you might enjoy a collection of short stories by Indigenous authors called Love Beyond Space and Time:an Indigenous LGBT Anthology, or Love After the End: an Anthology of Two-Spirit and Indigiqueer Speculative Fiction
