Leanne Betasamosake Simpson is a Michi Saagig Nishnaabeg writer, scholar, and musician, and is a member of Alderville Frist Nation. She is the author of five previous books, including: This Accident of Being Lost. She has released two albums including f(l)ight, which is a companion piece to This Accident of Being Lost, and is an excellent example of what musician Jeremy Dutcher, member of Tobique First Nation one of the six Wolastoqiyik reserves in New Brunswick, calls “Indigenous excellence.”
In this episode, we will examine both the short stories and songs in order to understand the relationship between text, body, and sound. We will read and listen to: “under your always light,” “the oldest tree in the world,” and “I am graffiti.”
