Noopiming Sessions was inspired by my novel, Noopiming: A Cure for White Ladies, available in Canada from the House of Anansi Press and in the United States by the University of Minnesota Press, and created in artistic collaboration with Ansley Simpson, James Bunton and Sammy Chien, during the on-going social isolation of COVID-19. Noopiming EP is the first release for Indigenous run label Gizhiiwe.
