In June of 2020 some 15,000 people gathered in Winnipeg in the name of Justice4BlackLives. Early in 2022, viewers should be able to watch a television series inspired by Winnipeg’s sleeping car porters, and it will be the biggest Black-led television production ever made in Canada. We still know too little about Black prairie pasts, and Vernon’s book, and these thoughtful responses to it, give us crucial ways to start better considering Black prairie histories.</p> Adele Perry Barrington Walker Sonja Boon Betchel Belachew Erica Violet Lee Copyright (c) 2022 Dr. Adele Perry https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2023-08-04 2023-08-04 2 1 https://ojs.lib.umanitoba.ca/index.php/forks/article/view/937 <p>My name is Carlie Kane, and I am the grand daughter of Elizabeth Terry Southwind, a matriarch from Obishikokaang [Lac Seul First Nation] on Treaty 3 territory.
