I Lost My Talk by Rita Joe

I lost my talk
The talk you took away.
When I was a little girl
At Shubenacadie school.

You snatched it away:
I speak like you
I think like you
I create like you
The scrambled ballad, about my word.

Two ways I talk
Both ways I say,
Your way is more powerful.

So gently I offer my hand and ask,
Let me find my talk
So I can teach you about me.

The Mi'kmaw are one of Canada's First Nations people...& they have loved this land for centuries. Kejimkujik National Park and Historic Site wanted to embrace and share the Mi'kmaw culture. So the Mi'kmaw Encampment near Merrymakedge was constructed. Listen as the Mi'kmaw recount their history, share a cup of bone broth & listen to their stories of how to use what nature has generously provided.

Today is #HeritageDay in #NovaScotia & we honor Rita Joe a Mi'kmaw poet https://fineartamerica.com/featured/mikmaw-at-merrymakedge-karen-cook.html
