Xàgots'eèhk'ǫ̀ Journal

Xàgots’eèhk’ǫ̀ translates to having a campfire in the Tłı̨chǫ language. Fire is important to Northerners; a campfire is where people gather, share stories, seek warmth, cook food, and many other activities. Like a campfire, this journal is a space to exchange information and bring together voices from across the North.

Listen to Rosa Mantla from Behchokǫ̀ pronounce Xàgots’eèhk’ǫ̀ in this audio clip.

This new, Northern-based, and open access journal publishes work in multiple genres on topics important to Northern peoples, and aims to share, strengthen, and celebrate Northern peoples’ relationship to land, languages, cultures, and ways of life.

To do this, Xàgots’eèhk’ǫ̀ Journal accepts scholarly and creative submissions across disciplines, languages, and genres.
