Chantal Rondeau
Chantal Rondeau is a Sun Valley Writer’s Conference fellow; the inaugural Tin House/Carol Shields Scholar and she holds an MFA from the Institute of American Indian Arts. She is a Porches Fellow and has received support from Fine Arts Work Center IAIA Scholarship. In an article on LitHub, Marie-Helene Bertino states Chantal’s manuscript is “stunning” and said that she’s “never seen a more beautiful or resonant way of literally representing inter-generational trauma (and tenderness) on the page.” Chantal ultimately hopes to tell stories that shift perceptions and lead to a global understanding of the modern-day Indigenous people.
The manuscript "White Ash Falling" is set in the Yukon Territory, its Spirit as alive as the three Northern Tutchone women who time-travel through their dreams. The manuscript is currently up for agent representation.
