Mnookmi ep 6: Reclamation Rumination with Tegan pt. 2
(Content warning for residential school trauma and sexual assault)

This week, we continue our discussion from last week with Blackfoot/Metis/British poet, author, and playwright Tegan Smallwood or otherwise known as Tegan Wintermoon. We look into the differentiation between revenge and reclamation as it involves both the story's main character as well as Smallwood themself as the young writer at the time. Smallwood and I then look back at the writing process as we dive into the second half of an audio production of Smallwood’s TCTE Short Fiction Contest award winning short story Passion of Christ.
