Announcing the upcoming release of Honouring Indigenous Women: Hearts of Nations Vol.2 – Media Co-op

November 23, 2012

On November 25th, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, we will launch, online, Honouring Indigenous Women: Hearts of Nations Vol.2. The book will be available at www.ipsmo.org.

Following the success of Honouring Indigenous Women: Hearts of Nations Vol.1, published earlier this year, the Indigenous Peoples’ Solidarity Movement Ottawa (IPSMO) launched its Honouring Indigenous Women Campaign and released a call for submissions for Honouring Indigenous Women: Hearts of Nations Vol.2.

Sixty-two women and men from various nations contributed to this volume. Indigenous women shared their lived experiences with regards to their relationships with the land, their birth mothers, families, communities, and themselves. Their Indigenous and non-Indigenous allies shared their thoughts on responsibilities to (re)build relationships with Indigenous women.

We are very grateful for the authors and artists who courageously shared their stories with us, and are honoured to publish their work. We also would like to express our gratitude to Under One Roof Properties who generously donated us the layout by Nancy Reid from NR Grafix.
