Vowel, Chelsea

Entry updated 12 September 2022. Tagged: Author.

(?   -    ) Canadian author, a member of the Métis Nation of Alberta, who also writes as by âpihtawikosisân, active from before 2014. Much of her nonfiction and initiatives are concerned with the fate of indigenous languages and culture in a world that continues to endanger these traditions and lives; Indigenous Writes: A Guide to First Nations, Métis & Inuit Issues in Canada (2016). She is of sf interest for Buffalo Is the New Buffalo (coll 2022), tales set, mostly in a Near Future world where principles of harmony based on Métis thought – as mediated through Vowel's expert use of the SF Megatext – have pointed humans towards Utopian outcomes. Shadows of the savaged post=Imperialism history of the Métis Nation enrich a portrait that might seem otherwise hortatory. [JC]
