      Tekahionwake, or Emily Pauline Johnson, was born on March 10, 1861, at Chiefswood, her childhood home, on the Six Nations Reservation in the Grand River valley, Ontario, Canada. She died in Vancouver, British Columbia, on March 7, 1913. From the 1890s until her death she was acclaimed as a leading poet, writer, and performer in Canada, England, and the United States. To honor her contributions, a Canadian commemorative postage stamp was issued in 1961, upon the centennial of her birth. Her mother, Emily Susanna Howells, was from an English Quaker family that migrated to Ohio after the death of Emily’s Read less

    2. The Liminal Space of Métis Poetry: Between Centre and Periphery 2023

      This article explores the literary space of Canadian literature in world literature and the liminal space of Métis poetry, which is distinctive in being situated between the European and Indigenous aspects of Canadian literature. The paradox is that Métis poetry and literature in Canada, long marginalized, can now create another space for Canadian literature, or for poets born or living in Canada, in world literature and comparative literature, a small literature among large literatures. By examining Métis poetry in Canada and analyzing the poems by Louis Riel (1844–1885), Pauline Johnson (also known as Tekahionwake or Double Wampum, 1861–1913) and Naomi McIlwraith (contemporary), the article can provide a sense of distinctiveness and uniqueness, even if some of these qualities are also present in “Métis” poetry outside Canada. Riel and McIlwraith occupy a literary and cultural in-between space—Riel writing in French and McIlwraith in English and Cree—mixing major and minor centers and part of this “nation within a nation,” this threshold space where self, identity and other are all called into question.

      Early debates around the statutes of the Canadian Confederation’s Indian Act coincide with the height of Mohawk writer E. Pauline Johnson’s (1861–1913) literary career. Johnson was born into an intricate matrix of emerging borders. Along racial lines, she was born into her father’s aristocratic Mohawk family and her mother’s well-to-do upper-class English background; she was born between an era of developing Canadian colonies and a Canada that was forming a commonwealth ruled by those of English background; she was born a woman of the Iroquois Confederacy that for centuries recognized a woman’s power of autonomy and women’s centrality to Read less
