One of Rita Joe's most influential poems, "I Lost My Talk" tells
the revered Mi'kmaw Elder's childhood story of losing her language
while a resident of the residential school in Shubenacadie, Nova
Scotia. An often quoted piece in this era of truth and
reconciliation, Joe's powerful words explore and celebrate the
survival of Mi'kmaw culture and language despite its attempted
eradication. A necessary reminder of a dark chapter in Canada's
history, this slim volume is a powerful reading experience, and an
effective teaching tool for young readers of all cultures and
backgrounds. Includes a biography of Rita Joe and striking colour
illustrations by contemporary Mi'kmaw artist Pauline Young.
