Kieran Kalls Rice

I’m a writer of Coast Salish (Snuneymuxw First Nation) and Scottish-Settler descent. My writing project is a satirical novel about a group of Indigenous men in 1990s Guelph, Ontario, which explores questions about belonging, identity, the performance of ceremony, and cultural authenticity. I co-founded and am the co-managing editor of Bobbi Lee, an academic and creative journal that publishes Indigenous writing, scholarship, and visual art. An excerpt from my novel won the 2025 Indigenous Voices Award for unpublished prose.
