document | Quarantine as Ceremony: COVID-19 as an Opportunity to Quietly Rebel against the Dominant Langscape | Langscape Magazine

Langscape Magazine Vol 9

Severn Cullis-Suzuki transports us to Haida Gwaii, an archipelago off the west coast of Canada that’s home to the Haida people. During a period of pandemic self-isolation, she and her family discover a silver lining: finding the inner calm and stillness needed for full-immersion Haida language practice. This story was first published in Langscape Magazine, Vol 9, 2020.
