Live podcast recording featuring Tenille Campbell
Kayla Lar-Son, Sheila Laroque, Tanya Ball
In January 2021, ILSA and the Book Women joined forces to produce Season 3 of masinahikan iskwêwak as a podcasted book club! Join us for the exciting live conclusion of Season 3, as the Book Women interview Dene/Métis author Tenille Campbell about her new book, nedí nezu.
Kayla Lar-Son: Raised by a Metis mother and a Ukrainian father, Kayla claims to be one of the best Pierogi making Bannock slappers on the other side of the Rocky Mountains. Recently she said so long Alberta, packed up her husband, and monster cat Spud, and relocated to the unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and Sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. In true Capricorn form she can be a bit pessimistic at times, but watch out for her dark sense of humor it can come out at the most inappropriate of time.
Sheila Laroque (She/Her) is Métis from the Saskatoon area. Her father is from Duck Lake, SK, her mother is from Alsa Craig in ON. Her sense of humour is from the Internet, her cynicism from grad school and love language is the gif. After 3 years in Toronto; this prairie gal from the 306 came back home to Treaty 6 in Edmonton, which is how she met Tanya and Kayla. She is currently working as a librarian; and has been a successful prodigal daughter, making her way back to Saskatoon, SK just as COVID-19 was declared a global pandemic.
Tanya Ball (She/Her) is a Michif woman from Winnipeg, Manitoba in Treaty 1 Territory. She is currently living in Amiskwaciwâskahikan (Edmonton, Alberta) where she is enrolled in the PhD program with the Faculty of Native Studies at the University of Alberta. Here, she researches Michif experiences of death and dying; Storytelling; and Lii Jhyaab (the Devil). She is a self-proclaimed Indigi-nerd, reading comics, playing video games, and puzzling.On the weekends, you can catch her chilling with the fam-jam, baking gluten-free goodies.
