ÂNISKÔHÔCIKAN

New!

From: Buffalo is the New Buffalo

$1.40

A work of science fiction set in the near future, “âniskôhôcikan” challenges the notion that Métis are anti-technology, demonstrating how we will continue to innovate without compromising our self-determination. As the Cree language continues to decline, Métis and nêhiyawak (Cree) parents have their unborn children implanted with nanotechnology to ensure they will grow up as mother-tongue speakers.

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.
