| | 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.
