About Issue #5: Heirlooms

In this issue of Memewar, our contributors illustrate a past they've created, remembered, or learned from. Rhoda Hodjati shows us the struggle of a Chipewyan woman journaling through a changing history in "Cold Post Reds." Phinder Dulai's poems are delicate and haunting reminders of where we've come from. Through an interview, we will see where Wayde Compton has been. Gloria Personne will show us that even fictional histories give us our sense of place. As soon as we printed it, this issue was history.
