(This page is being cultivated right now…the ‘zines will be available in mid-August once Kikila’s dissertation is defended and the ‘zines have been presented to the W̱SÍ,ḴEM Ivy Project and the Lekwungen Community Toolshed)
Below are 5 ‘zines that have been developed as part of the Learning to Listen project. Each of these has been submitted as a part of the dissertation that is, in several ways, one of the main outputs of Learning to Listen as a whole. They represent the community-facing outreach of this project and offer resources to Nations, Indigenous communities and groups, as well as settler organizations, communities and collectives to use as resources.
These ‘zines have been intended to support settler unlearning while offering suggestions on how we might end up becoming safe(r) for the Indigenous peoples, communities and groups who invite us to support their works. Each addresses a different structural issue that either makes us settlers unsafe for spending time in Indigenous spaces, or continues our (re)production of a dominant worldview (a means of seeing and understanding a “world,” and the practices we do even accidentally that marginalize Indigenous people and other peoples seen to be “less than” within the colony).
Please download them, share them, spread them around. If you have been supporting and showing up for Indigenous people(s) on the lands you occupy and see these are valuable, then please bring them to events and hand them to settlers.

Each ‘zine is prepared in tabloid size, and is a PDF. They are meant to be read in the following order, with the hummingbird logo being the cover:
1, 6, 7, 8
2, 3, 4, 5
A slit is intended to be cut between 6, 7 and 2, 3 and then folded first in half. Please watch this video to see how this ‘zine is intended to be folded: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=keX3nBEcw2Y
