E. Pauline Johnson
E. Pauline Johnson (1861–1913) was a Canadian poet, performer, and writer of Mohawk and English descent, known for celebrating her Indigenous heritage in her work. She gained widespread acclaim for her poetry and stage performances, often incorporating traditional Indigenous themes and costumes. Johnson's notable works include "Flint and Feather," a collection of her poetry, and "Legends of Vancouver," which retells Indigenous stories from the Pacific Coast. Her legacy endures as a pioneer for Indigenous representation in Canadian literature and as a voice for cross-cultural understanding.

I was not altogether surprised, however, for her letters to me had long ago shed a golden light upon her peculiar character. She had made herself believe, quite erroneously,...
