Anouchka Freybe and Tanya Talaga
Minwaajimo (Ojibwe for “he/she tells a good story”), the first component of PEN Canada’s Indigenous Literary Program, is currently on hold due to the pandemic. The program aims to advance several initiatives including mentorships for young writers; book drives; conversations and events in accessible venues; and writing workshops for incarcerated members of the Indigenous community. 20 PEN Canada Annual Report 20/21
