Beneath Ancient Roots, Along Winding Routes: Stories of Unyielding Steadfastness


Issue IV Submission

We are excited to announce the call for submissions for this year's digital zine. We invite you to share your unique stories through poetry, writing, art, photos, and other creative expressions that highlight the theme though storytelling.
Storytelling is a cherished practice among Indigenous peoples worldwide. Whether you are rooted in your land or have been uprooted from it, this is an opportunity to reflect on what steadfastness means to you and your community. Through storytelling, we can discover how the narratives we tell can shape our lives and our communities. We can explore the roots and routes connecting us to our lands and cultures, whether physically or through the narratives we share. Often, we find our stories are told for us. Through storytelling, we reclaim those narratives. What is your story? What is the story you wish to share?
This issue’s submissions will be curated into a digital zine, featuring poetry, reflections, artwork, spoken word, and photography exploring the power of storytelling in empowering our lives and our communities.
