Tracey Lindberg and artist George Littlechild consider a teaching from an Elder that in their culture love, as constructed in Western society, does not exist. Through fiction and select paintings, they respond, inspiring readers to recall responsibilities to relations, to think about the obligation that is love, and to imagine what it means to have no word for love.
Tracey Lindberg is a citizen of As’in’i’wa’chi Ni’yaw Nation Rocky Mountain Cree from the Kelly Lake Cree Nation community. She is an award-winning academic writer and a professor of law. She is the author of ‘Birdie’, which was shortlisted for CBC’s Canada Reads, the Kobo Emerging Writer Prize, and the Georges Bugnet Award for Fiction and longlisted for the International Dublin Literary Award.
