| Summary: | Them Days magazine is a quarterly publication that has been dedicated to preserving the history and culture of Labrador for the past 42 years. It is created in Happy Valley-Goose Bay, Labrador, in the mainland portion of the province of Newfoundland and Labrador. This article outlines a methodology of faithful feminist witnessing that is used to engage the Indigenous and non-Indigenous stories contained in Them Days and the story of Them Days itself. This methodology utilizes decolonizing, postcolonial, and feminist life-writing theories, and is guided by decolonial attitude, which the author argues is demonstrated in the magazine’s founding principles and continuing work. |
