Four Winds Literary Magazine

"You don't have anything if you don't have stories." - Leslie Marmon Silko

All across the Rez, wild Indians shiver-danced around woodstoves and howled the most wondrous songs of brilliant poverty

Native American Writers and Artists Needed

For centuries, Native American story-telling has inspired and informed. From the oral tradition to dance, to basket-weaving, to rhythmic poetry, to beadwork, these art forms uniquely tell the story of the Indigenous Peoples of North America, reaching back to the ancestors and elders, and propelling forward as we teach our children the stories, dances, and traditions of our ancestors.

Four Winds is a magazine of the arts dedicated to showcasing the Indigenous voices of Canada and North America, in all their forms. Because our artwork cannot be confined to the page, we will use film, photographs, voice clips, and other media to tell our story, along with traditional verse poetry, short stories, essays, and allegories.

If you identify as a First Nations person, please send your work to [email protected] to be considered for our magazine. We look forward to experiencing your work.
