Indigenous Voices Awards
Bearcat: /* References */
The '''Indigenous Voices Awards''' are a [[Canada|Canadian]] literary award program, created in 2017 to honour [[indigenous literatures in Canada]].<ref name=cbc>[https://ift.tt/2C6s6pN "New literary prize for Indigenous writers to offer $25K in awards"]. [[CBC News]], October 19, 2017.</ref>
The awards grew out of 2017 controversy, when a group of Canadian writers were criticized for campaigning on [[Twitter]] in favour of a prize supporting [[cultural appropriation]].<ref>[https://ift.tt/2ousVyL "Crowdfunded Indigenous Voices Awards formally launches, with focus on emerging talent"]. ''[[Quill & Quire]]'', October 30, 2017.</ref> In response, Toronto lawyer Robin Parker launched a [[crowdfunding]] campaign to create a new prize for [[First Nations]], [[Métis people|Métis]] and [[Inuit people|Inuit]] writers in Canada. The crowdfunding campaign was set with a goal of $10,000, but ultimately attracted over $140,000 in donations.<ref name=cbc/>
The awards honour both published and unpublished work by indigenous writers. The first winners were announced in May 2018.<ref>[https://ift.tt/2C6s6WP "Billy-Ray Belcourt, Aviaq Johnston among winners of 2018 Indigenous Voices Awards"]. [[CBC Books]], May 31, 2018.</ref>
