Vancouver, where I live, didn’t see a single snowflake until February. So instead of the legend of the creation of the moon, I’ll tell you her name: tipiskâwi-pîsim, night sun. In Anishinaabemowin, she is Nookomis Dibik-Giizis, the revered Grandmother Moon. Though almost every acre on land has been claimed by one nation or another, the moon has been a shared locus of imagination and...
