About Sumac
Sumac Literary Magazine is named after and inspired by the staghorn sumac plant that grows on the Carleton University campus. While staghorn sumac thrives throughout the City of Ottawa, varieties of sumac are also found around the world. The Algonquin word for sumac is “Kàgàgiminaganj,” or “Kàgàgimin” meaning “fruit of the sumac.” In Algonquin communities, as in other communities and cultures, sumac plants are used in recipes, medicines, and textiles. We acknowledge that our teams and facilities are situated on the traditional and unceded territories of the Algonquin nation, and that many of us are uninvited guests on this land. We acknowledge and thank the stewards and caretakers of this land and watershed. Their presence here reaches back to time immemorial and we hope that our contribution, Sumac Literary Magazine, has a positive impact. Read more here.
