NIMIYWÊYIHTÊN: I Feel Great
by Lana Whiskeyjack and Serina Follette
NIMIYWÊYIHTÊN: I Feel Great is a beautifully illustrated children’s book born from Lana Whiskeyjack’s groundbreaking research for the iyiniw pimâtisiwin kiskeyihtamowin Doctoral Program at UnBQ. In her research, she explored Indigenous conceptions of beauty with the aim to redefine it from an Indigenous worldview. This powerful work honors and celebrates the sacred roles and inherent strength of iskwewak (women), reminding them of their deep connection to the land—notâwîmâwaskiy—and their undeniable power.
