Sumac Literary Magazine
The Algonquin word for Sumac is “Kàgàgiminaganj” or “Kàgàgimin” meaning “fruit of the sumac.” It was used for medicinal purposes within Algonquin communities. We acknowledge that our team is situated on the traditional and unceded territories of the Algonquin nation, and that we are uninvited guests on this land.
The magazine derives its name from the Sumac plant and its many meanings. While Sumac grows throughout our campus, it is also found across the globe. The Sumac plant holds history, as it is used in recipes, medicines, and textiles.
With an annually revolving team, we value diversity, inclusivity, and accessibility. The Sumac plant embodies this mission.
