ELMNT FM’s Take a Lesson... Emily Pauline John

ELMNT FM’s Take a Lesson...

Emily Pauline Johnson, also known by her Mohawk stage name Tekahionwake, was a Canadian poet, author, and performer who was popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Johnson—whose poetry was published in Canada, the United States, and Great Britain—was among a generation of widely-read writers who began to define Canadian literature.

In 2002, a complete collection of her known poetry was published, entitled E. Pauline Johnson, Tekahionwake: Collected Poems and Selected Prose.

(Tekahionwake pronounced dageh-eeon-wageh)

ELMNT FM’s Take a Lesson...

Chief Poundmaker was a Plains Cree chief known as a peacemaker and defender of the Poundmaker Cree Nation.

In 1885, during the Métis Rebellion, his band was attacked by Canadian troops and a battle ensued. After the rebellion was suppressed, he surrendered and was convicted of treason and imprisoned. He died of illness soon after his release.

In May 2019, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau exonerated the chief and apologized to the Poundmaker Cree Nation.
