I got my copy of To Find Us: Words and Images of Halifax. I have a whopping six lines in there. It was really cool

Walking Hibernation

30 March 200522 May 2015 joannemerriam

My short story “Walking Hibernation” won third place in the fiction category of the 2004 Strange Horizons Reader’s Choice Awards. I’m really very flattered.

I acknowledge that I live in Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq nation. This territory is covered by a series of treaties of peace and friendship which recognized Mi’kmaq and Wolastoqiyik (Maliseet) title and established rules for an ongoing relationship between nations. We are all treaty people. The stories of First Nations peoples have been told in Mi'kma'ki for centuries, and I commit to holding space for those stories to be retold. Moreover, as a guest on this land, I affirm that I have a duty to be mindful of my environmental impact and to reflect on and hold colonial systems accountable.
