Dirty Wings

New!

From: Buffalo is the New Buffalo

$1.20

Informed by Métis metaphysics, “Dirty Wings” occurs in the hazy present and asserts Métis reality in a time when our otipêyimisow-itâpisiniwina (Métis worldviews) are supposed to be fading away. This is a dreaming story that witnesses Métis ontologies bleeding over and superseding settler colonial control.

The chapter includes an “exploration” section at the end providing further context and insight into the Métis culture and history which it is inspired by.
