Themes and submission deadlines: Caribou Stories and Living Well

Xàgots’eèhk’ǫ̀ means “having a campfire” in Tłı̨chǫ. Like having a campfire, this new, Northern-based, and open access journal is a space to exchange information and bring together voices from across the North.

The submission deadline for the Fall 2023 issue on the theme of "Caribou Stories" is May 1, 2023.

Co-edited by John B. Zoe (Tłı̨chǫ) and Wanda McDonald (Gwich'in), this issue will focus on sharing knowledge, stories, art, and research about caribou. For many Northern Indigenous peoples, culture, language, and way of life are entwined with the wellbeing of this animal. We invite submissions that share knowledge about and explore changing relationships to caribou.

The submission deadline for the Spring 2024 issue on the theme of "Living Well" is October 1, 2023.

This issue invites Northerners into conversation about living well: what is known about living well and how to live well within families, communities, and territories. Art, research, knowledge, and stories that take up the topic of living well, health and wellness, being in balance in body, mind, and spirit are welcome. We are also seeking Co-editors for this issue, please get in touch if you are interested!
