In A Short History of the Blockade, award-winning writer Leanne
Betasamosake Simpson uses Michi Saagiig Nishnaabeg stories,
storytelling aesthetics, and practices to explore the generative
nature of Indigenous blockades through our relative, the
beaver—or in Nishnaabemowin, Amik. Moving through genres,
shifting through time, amikwag stories become a lens for the
life-giving possibilities of dams and the world-building
possibilities of blockades, deepening our understanding of
Indigenous resistance as both a negation and an affirmation. Widely
recognized as one of the most compelling Indigenous voices of her
generation, Simpson’s work breaks open the intersections between
politics, story, and song, bringing audiences into a rich and
layered world of sound, light, and sovereign creativity. A Short
History of the Blockade reveals how the practice of telling stories
is also a culture of listening, “a thinking through together,”
and ultimately, like the dam or the blockade, an affirmation of
life.
