since strived to change this oversight and, among his numerous publications, he has written the entry on Indigenous prose and poetry for Cambridge University Press' History of Canadian Literature (2009) and has coedited a new edition of An Anthology of Canadian Native Literature in English (2013) for Oxford University Press. He has also written and directed an award winning feature film, A Windigo Tale,
