I learned to hunt, skin, and butcher game through non-verbal methods. I also watched my grandparents work on the land and live their spirituality. I helped gather, dry, and grind their medicines. I inhaled the medicines' power and ingested it. When I left for residential school all this fell asleep. In never-before-collected essays and new poems, poet and kêhtê-aya (Elder) Louise Bernice Halfe - Sky Dancer tells the story of how she woke up from the trauma of separation and found the source of her inspiration: her culture and the land.
