Mitoni Niya Nêhiyaw / Cree Is Who I Truly Am - Nêhiyaw-Iskwêw Mitoni Niya / Me, I Am Truly a Cree Woman

In presenting a Cree woman's view of her world, the texts in this volume directly reflect the spoken word: Sarah Whitecalf's memoirs are here printed in Cree exactly as she recorded them, with a close English translation on the facing page. They constitute an autobiography of great personal authority and rare authenticity.

Riassunto

A highly personal document, these memoirs are altogether exceptional in recounting the thoughts and feelings of a Cree woman as she copes with the challenges of reserve life but also, in a key chapter, with her loneliness while tending a relative's children in a place far away from home.
