The Indigenous Voices showcase is always an Imaginairium highlight. This year, we’re blessed to have Shelagh Rogers in conversation with two transformational Turtle Island creatives. “If someone had told me when I walked out of school with only a Grade 8 education that at the age of 72, I would be long-listed for the best fiction book in Canada I would not have believed it,” remarked Brian Thomas Isaac upon nomination of his first novel (All the Quiet Places) for the Giller Prize. Three years later, Isaac is back with the highly anticipated sequel, Bones of a Giant. He’s joined by an award-winning academic writer and professor of law Tracey Lindberg, whose new book The Cree Word for Love explores love in all its forms—romantic, familial, community and kin—in the Cree experience.
