Tracey Lindberg: The Cree Word for Love

In The Cree Word for Love, author Tracey Lindberg and artist George Littlechild consider a teaching from an Elder that in their culture, the notion of love as constructed in Western society does not exist.

Together they have created and curated a collaboration which travels, season by season, mirroring the four rounds in ceremony, through the themes of the love within a family, ties of kinship, desire for romantic love and connection, strength in the face of loss and violence, and importance of self-love, as well as, crucially, a deeper exploration of the meaning of “all my relations.”

Tracey Lindberg speaks about her new book and considers where we find connection, strength, and the many forms of what it means to live lovingly.
