“Some would make us just names on a list. But we are people in a place - and resist.”
This seemed very appropriate at the time of our municipal elections.
From Walrus, there is notice of a new book by Robert MacFarlane, illustrated by Jackie Morris, published by Anansi Press, The Lost Spells. In the latest Brain Pickings, see too, The Unwinding by Jackie Morris published in July 2020.
From Canadian Geographic, Volume 140 #5, there is a rich trove of articles.
- Michif Revitalized: How to save an endangered language.
- Mapping Canada’s biggest islands.
- How to avoid the sixth extinction.
- Keeping the inlet wild – Princess Louisa Inlet raised $3m in 3 months .
Meanwhile online, Emergence Magazine Episode 6. The Power of Revitalization of Language Keepers: The struggle for Indigenous language survival in California. (Podcast link HERE)
