“I had no intention of anything. I just wrote down what I had in my mind. I didn't even intend it to be a book. It’s just simple language, just simple writings of me and when I was in the bush.”

New life for past Aboriginal literature puts Eeyou writer in front of today’s mainstream audience

Eeyou (Cree) writer Margaret Sam-Cromarty’s work captured in James Bay Memoirs and Other Stories is the eighth and newest offering in the First Voices, First Texts series from the University of Manitoba Press.Seeing her work collected and printed 30 years after publishing her first book is a “good feeling,” said Sam-Cromarty, and wholly unexpected. “I didn't think it would happen because...I lived in a different era.”

I think I forgot to share this w/ you guys!

Since I'm signed up to the newsletter, I made it to Mike's Top 8 & was one of the lucky few to receive his cousin's #beadwork w/ my new #looper #effectsPedal! 😋

I decided to replace the #EHX 95000 loopstation with this. Smaller & does what it needs to. Better fit for my #NativeAudio #pedalboard.

It's like he read my mind. Or maybe I read his? Hey, we're all relatives. Anyway, I had been wondering what their take on this type of pedal would be. Something w/ looping capabilities, that is.
