by
Simpson that she wrote for her own children. Following traditional practice, Simpson related these stories via oral tradition and notes that these stories are meant to be shared primarily in the winter season. Simpson incorporates Nishnaabeg language when invoking place names, animal names, and seasonal contexts and includes their definitions so youth may begin to have an understanding of Nishnaabeg language. They are both commonly known stories as well as more obscure tales but Simpson's tellings are reworked to account for modern day life so they retain their relevance to young audiences. Simpson's motivation in crafting these retellings was to decolonize the colonial matrices that many of the stories became mired in over many generations of colonialism. These matrices perpetuated European patriarchal norms that included moral shaming of female characters in addition to encouraging adherence to authoritarianism. Simpson's impulse is rooted in an Indigenous resurgence of decolonial reclamation. Ultimately, Simpson understands that stories hold great meaning for Indigenous peoples in their ability to transmit Indigenous ontologies, values, and political modalities.

artwork, and poetry. This anthology pays homage to the activists of Idle No More but also encourages the spirit of the movement to continue onward into the future. It celebrates Idle No More's
Indigenous centrality in both its organization, philosophy, scope, and participation. It is notable that much of the work contained within this anthology was penned or created during the height of the Idle No More's most active times of mobilization and offers the insights of activists as they were participating in active struggle. This book offers a window into Idle No More's focus on the importance of Indigenous communities’ relationality to their landbase and its vision for the potential of Indigenous futurity. The work within explores the reality of the labor necessary in healing the pain of colonially induced inter-generational trauma and the role of Indigenous persistence in maintaining Indigenous ways of being through ceremony and collectivity. In alignment with the spirit of Idle No More's activist base, all proceeds from the sale of this book are put directly back to Indigenous Canadian communities and the Native Youth Sexual Health Network in particular.
544:, persistence, and brilliance. The album title is a synthesis of the words “fight” and “light” to create “flight”. “Light” speaks to the beauty of Simpson's Nishnaabeg Indigenous culture and existence. “Fight” is a reference to the ongoing resistance of Indigenous peoples to their dispossession from sacred landbases and encompasses Simpson's philosophy of resurgence; intrinsic to the fight to regain Indigenous land is a resurgence of Indigenous lifeways and values interconnected to the land base. Finally, the combination of the two create the word “flight” to denote the utopic pleasure in absconding into the worldview of Nishnaabewin, the Eastern Ojibwe language, in order to imagine and formulate potential Indigenous futurities. Capturing the sounds and songs of the landscape were particularly important in the making of f(l)ight. Specifically, the sounds of rustling minomiin (wild rice) and sugar bush as well as the water flowing in the Crowe River were all recorded locally within the Anishnaabeg Indigenous landbase and were foundationally inspirational to the development of Simpson's lyrics on f(l)ight.
269:, across various genres, and is known for advocating for Indigenous ontologies. Her work is the result of a journey to reconnect to an ancestral homeland and traditions that she was disconnected from as a child and youth, living off the reserve. As a young person, Simpson immersed herself in her cultural traditions by connecting with Northern Nishnaabeg elders. Simpson's immersion facilitated a linguistic, cultural, and spiritual reconnection. Additionally, Simpson applies Nishnaabeg's methods of meaning-making through Nishnaabeg's storytelling. Storytelling permeates Simpson's respective musical, fiction-writing, and poetic endeavors. She writes from an indigenous worldview rooted in an embodied relationality to the natural environment. As an indigenous mother, Simpson wants to raise her children within a tradition steeped in storytelling so they might learn indigenous frameworks, spiritual belief systems, and indigenous ethics to draw upon throughout their lives.
514:, published in 2017, is described as a fragmentary collection of short stories and poetry that encompass both the poignant and the humorous aspects of Indigenous ways of being. Simpson explains that Nishnaabeg peoples’ rich tradition of humor has enabled them to survive and find joy in spite of histories of colonialism, dispossession and genocide. The title of this book and its preceding poem is a nod to the condition and ongoing struggle of Indigenous peoples who have suffered an ontological loss due to the violence of colonialism. Stylistically, this work has a more intimate tone intended to bring the reader into a more intimate sense of relationality with Simpson, and this method is based on Indigenous modalities of oral tradition. Notably, Simpson wrote this piece with Indigenous women in mind as the intended audience which carries its own resistance to a publishing industry that caters to predominantly white audiences. Her insistence on splicing in
496:, published in 2017, Simpson articulates Indigenous political resurgence as a practice rooted in uniquely Indigenous thinking and practice. She calls for an Indigenous resurgence rooted not in demands for assimilation but in offering land-based Indigenous alternatives to colonial hegemony. In chapter 9, "Land and Pedagogy", an essay for which Simpson won the 'Most thought-provoking" award in Native and Indigenous Studies, she uses stories of the Nishnaabeg people to argue for a radical break from state education systems designed to produce settler colonial subjects and advocates instead for a form of education that reclaims land as pedagogy, both as process and context for a rebellious transformation of Nishnaabeg intelligence and identity. The result, she contends, will be a generation of Nishnaabeg peoples with the knowledge and skills necessary to rebuild a society based on Nishnaabeg values.

to resist neocolonial silencing, Simpson asserts that
Nishnaabeg dealings with the Canadian state be first and foremost based in such Indigenous epistemologies. In order to move forward, Simpson contends that reconciliation be foundationally based in Indigenous movements towards resurgence. This includes implementing decolonial understandings that posit prime importance to the relationality between peoples and the natural environment. Simpson's work is an attempt to decolonize the politics of state sanctioned reconciliation. As part of this, individual Indigenous nations must be understood as respectively differentiated from other Indigenous nations in their dealings with the Canadian state. This is a rejection of state actions that understand Indigenous nations as a powerless monolith. Ultimately, it is a rejection of Canadian claims to entitlement over Indigenous autonomy.
566:, and rejects tropes of the mournful Native. Instead, Simpson's decolonial poetics focuses on the metamorphic force of decolonial love in all its forms. Embedded in Simpson's writing is a resistance to the conquered and sorrowful Native, wherein the processes of colonialism have engendered a sense of persistence and strength against structures of oppression. For Simpson, colonization does not equate conquest. Simpson's work frames decolonial love in a way that disrupts temporal, spatial, and gender frameworks and challenges normative notions of writing and communicating with the reader. In short, this work attempts to bring the reader in on the project of decolonizing worldviews surrounding love itself.
367:
Simpson's approach is one based in rejecting assimilationist tendencies and state sanctioned recognition politics. Simpson specifically calls for decolonial action articulated via indigenous decolonial theory rather than
Western epistemologies and absent the approval of state sanction. Simpson critiques Canada's use of recognition and reconciliation politics as a way in which to neutralize indigenous concerns by relegating anti-indigenous and colonialist policy to a distant past which alleviates the state of any motivation to address systemic oppressions that stem from the settler-colonialist state. Additionally, Simpson understands Canada's
355:. Simpson critiques environmental reforms that operate from extractivist philosophies and explains that the solutions to impending environmental collapse cannot be based in extractivist methodologies. She specifically critiques the ways in which government and corporate environmental reforms extract pieces of indigenous knowledge in the search for sustainable solutions while lacking a related cultural context and that their efforts only serve to reinforce extractivist methodologies. Ultimately, Simpson situates her critique of extractive capitalism within the larger framework of colonialism.

heteropatriarchal dominance. Dismantling heteronormative frameworks is key to
Simpson's project and thus centers an indigenous feminist/queer-centered approach. In her article "Queering Resurgence," she approaches mothering and guiding her children through a decolonial perspective that challenges heteropatriarchy, heteronormativity, and the exclusion of queer indigenous peoples. As part of reconfiguring indigenous peoples' sovereignty, resurgence means ensuring queer indigenous people are part of rebuilding the indigenous community.
482:. Simpson uses an artful rather than polemical writing style to expose readers to an alternative world involved with the daily labors of healing and indigenous transformation. Intrinsic to this collection is a deep contemplation of indigenous relationality to ceremony and landbases with an understanding that ceremony is relational to the entirety of the earth itself. It asserts a futurity rooted in the still present past. Noopiming was short listed for the Governor General's Literary Award for fiction in 2020.
