Paddling Her Own Canoe: The Times and Texts of E. Pauline Johnson (Tekahionwake)

by Veronica Strong-Boag, Carole Gerson, Veronica Jane Strong-Boag

Book Overview

Frequently dismissed as a 'nature poet' and an 'Indian Princess' E. Pauline Johnson (1861-1913) was not only an accomplished thinker and writer but a contentious and passionate personality who 'talked back' to Euro-Canadian culture. Paddling Her Own Canoe is the only major scholarly study that examines Johnson's diverse roles as a First Nations champion, New Woman, serious writer and performer, and Canadian nationalist.
