A new Zine from Ancestral Pride, a grassroots non-profit organisation based in Nuu-chah-nulth territory on the west coast of Vancouver Island. Ancestral Pride’s aim is to « ensure the continuity of the land, by educating ourselves, and others as much as we can about the need to connect with our home lands. » This zine deals with the topic of solidarity. Sometimes provokative, the text challenges readers to unpack their privilege and outlines several concrete ways of contributing to Indigenous-led efforts toward decolonization.

The author describes an “ally industrial complex”, or the tendency by which activists or academics whose careers depend on the issues they work to address tend to lean on Indigenous issues for their own benefit. An important but difficult read, outlining several suggestions for meaningful, thoughtful solidarity between Indigenous and non-Indigenous activists.

FNER is a collection of links to educational resources compiled by Angela Towedo, BA, BEd. Oji-Cree Teacher, whose goal is to improve the lives of Indigenous children across Canada by providing tools for Indigenous and non-indigenous educators

From the earliest settler policies to deal with the “Indian problem,” to contemporary government-run programs ostensibly designed to help Indigenous people, public policy has played a major role in creating the historical trauma that so greatly impacts the lives of Indigenous peoples in Canada. Taking Back Our Spirits traces the link between Canadian public policies, the injuries they have inflicted on Indigenous people, and Indigenous literature’s ability to heal individuals and communities. Episkenew examines contemporary autobiography, fiction, and drama to reveal how these texts respond to and critique public policy, and how literature functions as “medicine” to help cure the colonial contagion. * 2009 Winner of the Saskatchewan Book Award for Scholarly Writing; 210 Winner of the Saskatchewan Book Award for First Peoples’ Writing
