Season's Greetings

By Santa Posted on December 17, 2015

Richard Kelly Kemick is obsessed with his tiny Christmas village. And it’s not because it celebrates his festive spirit. Ruling over the always happy figurine-people of his holiday town, he is all-powerful and he alone controls their fate.

Richard joined us at The Banff Centre as a participant in Literary Arts' Literary Journalism residency in 2015. His story, “Playing God,” was published in The Walrus.

We recognize, with deep respect and gratitude, our home on the side of Sacred Buffalo Guardian Mountain. In the spirit of respect and truth, we honour and acknowledge the Banff area, known as “Minihrpa” (translated in Stoney Nakoda as “the waterfalls”) and the Treaty 7 territory and oral practices of the Îyârhe Nakoda (Stoney Nakoda) – comprised of the Bearspaw, Chiniki, and Goodstoney Nations – as well as the Tsuut’ina First Nation and the Blackfoot Confederacy comprised of the Siksika, Piikani, and Kainai. We acknowledge that this territory is home to the Shuswap Nations, Ktunaxa Nations, and Metis Nation of Alberta, Rockyview District 4. We acknowledge all Nations who live, work, and play here, help us steward this land, and honour and celebrate this place.
