Thomas King said, “The truth about stories is… stories are all that we are.” Colonization has tried to erase and eradicate Indigenous narratives for centuries. Even mainstream literature features the same kinds of stories told by the same voices. It fails to recognize the diversity of voices across Turtle Island. Stories exist and persist in diverse and divergent forms.
Mihko Kiskisiwin is collection of Indigenous North American voices, from incarcerated and diversified Indigenous community members, elders, and youth to people with disabilities and 2SLGBTQIA+ people. This anthology by the Indigenous Poets Society (Saskatchewan–Ontario) showcases spoken and written poetry, fiction, and creative non-fiction from emerging and established artists, writers, and performers.
