Leanne Betasamosake Simpson Books Overview

This Is an Honour Song: Twenty Years Since the Blockades

This is an Honour Song is a collection of narratives, poetry, and essays exploring the broad impact of the 1990 resistance at Kanehsat :ke, otherwise known as the Oka Crisis . The book is written by leading Indigenous and non Indigenous artists, scholars, activists and traditional people, and is sung as an Honour Song celebrating the commitment, sacrifices and achievements of the Kanien kehaka individuals and communities involved.

Lighting the Eighth Fire: The Liberation, Resurgence, and Protection of Indigenous Nations

This remarkable collection of essays by leading Indigenous scholars focuses on the themes of freedom, liberation and Indigenous resurgence as they relate to the land. They analyze treaties, political culture, governance, environmental issues, economy and radical social movements, from an anti colonial Indigenous perspective.

Editor Leanne Simpson has solicited Indigenous writers that place Indigenous freedom as their highest political goal, while turning to the knowledge, traditions and culture of specific Indigenous nations to achieve that goal.
