UNBC hosts Tenille K. Campbell as a Writer in Residence between January and April 2025. Occupying an office in the administration building, Campbell will work on new material for a future story, meet with visitors for creative expression, and perhaps partake in a little gossip.
Campbell, originally from English River First Nation, Saskatchewan, gained national attention with her 2017 poetry collection, #IndianLovePoems. Exploring themes of sensuality, healing, and connection, her work also reflects modern digital life, where truth is elusive and community is essential.
A self described “social media elder,” Campbell also plans to explore land-based writing involving her family’s brief history in Lheidli T’enneh Territory. She will also be attending the Weaving Words Festival or ‘Ut’loo Noye Khunni from March 5-8.
