About Muses from the North:
Muses from the North is an on-line journal for students of the University College of the North. We publish biannually from UCN campuses in The Pas and Thompson, located in Treaty No. 5 territory. As a UCN students’ journal, MFTN provides a platform for our students to express their musings about our amazing northern tradition and culture in texts, words, images and pictures. Our northern muses are not only from The Pas and Thompson, but also from a network of 12 regional centres, from Swan River to Churchill. Nine of our regional centres are in First Nations communities. MFTN also publishes students’ academic works to showcase their achievements from their northern learning environments. Like the dwellers in the north, MFTN favors Northern tradition, culture and stories from our northern communities. We exist to publish fiction and nonfiction, graphics, translated excerpts from Indigenous languages, and interviews. Reach us through mftn@ucn.ca.
