| Synopsis
|
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 companion book to the simultaneously published I'm
Finding My Talk by Rebecca Thomas, I Lost My Talk is a necessary
reminder of a dark chapter in Canada's history, 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 Mi'kmaw artist Pauline Young.
