Description

Today our guest is Métis author, intel­lec­tu­al, and edu­ca­tor Chelsea Vow­el. Chelsea is a grad­u­ate stu­dent at the Uni­ver­si­ty of Alber­ta and recent­ly pub­lished, through local Win­nipeg pub­lish­er Portage and Main Press, an incred­i­bly impor­tant book — Indige­nous Writes: A Guide to First Nations, Métis and Inu­it Issues in Cana­da. The book is a one-stop-shop for cor­rect­ing mis­con­cep­tions about Indige­nous peo­ples, top­ics, and issues. We talk about the nuts and bolts of the text, cre­ative choic­es, styl­iza­tions, and edi­to­r­i­al con­tri­bu­tions. Chelsea is an immense­ly respect­ed voice in the Indige­nous Intel­lec­tu­al com­mu­ni­ty, check out her blog âpihtawikosisân.
