Description

Almost ten years ago, an idea presented itself through learning about the constellations from a Cree perspective. That idea was a seed that eventually grew into a series entitled The Misewa Saga, a series that is now nearing its completion. This presentation will document the initial spark of this fantasy world, the craft of developing it into a long-term series, and the intention of teaching through it, and what that education would be. At once a recap, a love letter to traditional storytelling, an exercise in the craft of writing, and a discussion of difficult subjects that can be taught through literature, this presentation is for anybody who has found value in The Misewa Saga or those who are curious about it.
