Song of Rita Joe: Autobiography of a Mi'kmaq Poet by Rita Joe
fast-paced
This book made me think about who's stories and perspectives get elevated.
Rita Joe was given many honours by the canadian government - she was elevated in a way that other Indigenous writers who are more critical of residential schools and the canadian government have not been.
This doesn't diminish her talents or achievements in any way of course. Just something that made me think as I was reading.
