I Lost My Talk by Rita Joe

Language is very tightly tied to one's sense of self. The ability to communicate with others and have them understand what you are telling them is critical to a sense of belonging.

Rita Joe is a Mi'kmaq poet, educator and spokesperson for aboriginal peoples. She was born in 1931 on the Whycocomaugh Reserve in Nova Scotia. At twelve, she moved to the Shubenacadie Residential School.
