    “You’re gonna need a rock and a whole lotta medicine” Whitehead is a mantra that Jonny Appleseed, a young Two-Spirit/Indigiqueer and NDN glitter princess, Joshua Joshua repeats to himself in this vivid and utterly compelling debut novel by Joshua Whitehead. Off the rez and trying to find ways to live, love, and survive in the big city, Jonny has one week before he must return to his home—and his former life—to attend the funeral of his stepfather. The seven days that follow are like a fevered dream: stories of love, trauma, sex, kinship, ambition, and heartbreaking recollections of his beloved kokum (grandmother). Jonny’s life is a series of breakages, appendages, and linkages—and as he goes through the motions of preparing to return home, he learns how to put together the pieces of his life. JONNY APPLESEED HIGHLIGHTS Jonny Appleseed is a unique, shattering vision of Indigenous life, full of grit, glitter, and dreams. “Joshua Whitehead redefines what queer Indigenous writing can be in his powerful debut novel. Jonny Appleseed transcends genres of writing to blend the sacred and the sexual into a vital expression of Indigenous desire and love. Reading it is a coming home to bodies, stories, and experiences of queer Indigenous life that has never been so richly and honestly shown before. This book is an honour song to every queer NDN body who has ever lived and it will transform the universe with its beauty and magic.” FROM THE BACKLIST —Gwen Benaway, author of Passage “If we’re lucky, we’ll find one or two books in a lifetime that change the language of story, that manage to illuminate new curves in the flat vessels of old letters and words.

    Transmotion Vol 6, No 2 (2020) Sweatlodge in the Apocalypse: An Interview with Smokii Sumac JAMES MACKAY *Please view the html version of this piece in order to watch the recording of the original interview. James Mackay: I wanted to start by asking about the images on the front cover of your book, you are enough. They’re very striking, and seem to say a lot about you and your relationship to the land. How did you come to the design and how did you come to choose those particular images? Smokii Sumac: I love this question! I don't get to talk about it a lot. I was really lucky to be working with an Indigenous press, Kegedonce (https://kegedonce.com), who gave me the freedom to choose. And when I started thinking about what I wanted to share, I was thinking about first of all, where I'm from. The lands there in those photos are my many different homes, places that I'm connected to. A lot of the book is about finding home. So there's Peterborough, Ontario, where I was living. One of them is just the moon. There are the mountains from home where I live in Ktunaxa territory. And there's also Blackfeet territory where I do ceremony. Then I put myself out there. I think there's sort of this insecurity around selfies sometimes that can happen because there's sort of a stigma around them – at least, the Kim Kardashian kind of selfie mode. And yet it means something else for our Indigenous women specifically.

  • The Sovereign Erotic
    The Sovereign Erotic 42ND AMERICAN INDIAN WORKSHOP 12TH-17TH JULY, 2021 EUROPEAN UNIVERSITY CYPRUS Organiser: James Mackay A note on the conference format In the last two years, many of us have become far more accustomed to online conferences than we were before. The pandemic has pushed even major national and international scholarly associations into meeting on Zoom, at the same time as scholars have been forced without warning into teaching using distance learning technologies. While recognizing that this has been an unwelcome change for many, I believe that this week’s conference (just as with last year’s AIW) shows that there are more things to be gained than lost in the move online. Most importantly, we’ve reduced the CO2 cost of this conference. An international conference inevitably involves flights from all over the world, and it’s no longer justifiable to assuage our consciences by paying for (often highly suspicious) carbon offset programs. Destroying the atmosphere to go somewhere to talk about Indigenous issues seems particularly hypocritical, and when the research suggests that a move online can reduce the carbon footprint of these events by around 90% the question of how to make online work becomes particularly urgent. Cyprus, the host country for this year’s AIW, is a climate change hotspot where temperatures are predicted to rise by much more than the global average unless world carbon emissions are reduced to zero, so this is a matter of particular urgency here. The change also helps to democratize academia. Online conferences allow for delegates to attend from all over the world, including graduate students and independent scholars who do not have funding for international travel.

And you recently made the relocation back to Australia. And you already have an incredible number of Aussie books that you've shared on your Instagram, on all sorts of things. I've been loving it. [00:00:58] Jaclyn I have. It's been a very rough move, doing an international move during a pandemic, as I'm sure many people have experienced too. But yes, I'm very grateful that Australian publishers have been very kind, sending a lot of books our way to share on the podcast already. [00:01:17] Kendra So everyone definitely check out Jaclyn's Instagram and different things for more Australian lit book recommendations. Also, it is a new month, like we mentioned, so it's also a new Patreon podcast episode. And so this month, I am talking to Evelyn Bradley and Vanessa Bradley.

  • Indigenous Girlhood: Narratives of Colonial Care in Law and Literature
    Indigenous Girlhood: Narratives of Colonial Care in Law and Literature by Megan Scribe A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Social Justice Education University of Toronto © Copyright by Megan Scribe 2020 Indigenous Girlhood: Narratives of Colonial Care in Law and Literature Megan Scribe Doctor of Philosophy Department of Social Justice Education University of Toronto 2020 Abstract As Canada assumes legal responsibility over an unprecedented number of Indigenous girls entering carceral facilities, educational boarding arrangements, and foster care, it is important to examine how the state is implicated in harming these girls. While these institutions ostensibly exist to provide Indigenous girls with care, they actually place Indigenous girls at greater risk of violence, disappearance, and death. Rather than focus on children or women more broadly, this dissertation considers how Indigenous girls' unique social location and legal minor status subjects these girls to greater state surveillance and management. What’s more, this analysis establishes connections between state violence against Indigenous girls and Canada’s settler colonial regime. This dissertation is organized into two parts. In part one, I examine the production of colonial narratives about violence against Indigenous girls through the Inquiry into the Circumstances Surrounding the Death of Phoenix Sinclair (2013) and the Inquest into the Deaths of Seven First Nations Youth (2016). In part two, I shift my attention toward Indigenous feminist literature on Indigenous girlhood. Through a close reading of Tracey Lindberg’s Birdie (2015) and The Break (2016) by Katherena Vermette, this study considers the theoretical and methodological possibilities of Indigenous feminist storytelling.
