Here is the enlightening story of an esteemed and eloquent Mi'kmaq
woman whose message of "gentle persuasion" has enriched the life of
a nation.
Rita Joe is celebrated as a poet, an educator, and an
ambassador. In 1989, she accepted the Order of Canada "on behalf of
native people across the nation." In this spirit she tells her
story and, by her example, illustrates the experiences of an entire
generation of aboriginal women in Canada.
"Song of Rita Joe" is the story of Joe's remarkable life: her
education in an Indian residential school, her turbulent marriage,
and the daily struggles within her family and community. It is the
story of how Joe's battles with racism, sexism, poverty, and
personal demons became the catalyst for her first poems and allowed
her to reclaim her aboriginal heritage. Today, her story continues:
as she moves into old age, Joe writes that her lifelong spiritual
quest is ever deepening.
