-Local storytellers and keepers of knowledge from far-reaching Manitoba communities.
-New, vibrant voices that express the modern Aboriginal experiences.

Created in the spirit of the Anishinaabe concept debwe (to speak the truth), The Debwe Series is a collection of exceptional Aboriginal writing from across Canada.

Manitowapow is the traditional name that became Manitoba, a word that describes the sounds of beauty and power that created the province.
