[Indigsol] Announcing the release of Honouring Indigenous Women: Heart of Nations Vol.2

[Indigenous Peoples' Solidarity Movement Ottawa]

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.

This book is available online free of charge. We are now looking for funds
to print it in preparation for our book launch and to offer our
contributors paper copies of the book in early 2013. We plan to have this
book available for individual purchases, in local libraries and community
resource centers, and for use as part of school curricula.
If you would like to help us with distribution, please us at
ipsmo at riseup.net.

To make a donation to the campaign, please visit our website or make a
cheque to ‘Indigenous Peoples Solidarity Movement Ottawa’ with ‘HIW-Vol.2′
in the memo line. Cheques can be mailed to: 326 Unicentre, Carleton
University, 1125 Colonel By Drive, Ottawa, ON, K1S 5B6.

This particular piece represents the parts of a woman: her love, her
embrace, her laughter, and her tears
