29b. Bonus: Lee Maracle on Great Expectations.
The point is to express something, and to express something of yourself, so
that you can go forward with that. You’ve armed yourself, and you’re going out
and about in the world. And the armour is your words, and you speak so that
words are dancing on your skin and always ready for you. You’ve got your
weapons always ready. They’re there at hand.
Lee Maracle,
OC, is a writer and a
teacher, an artist and a performer, a siyam and an inspiration to many. She is
one of the Sto:lo people, who are part of the Pacific Coast Salish Nation, and
a granddaughter of Chief Dan George (band chief, actor, and writer). Lee has
written many award-winning works of poetry, fiction, and non-fiction,
including her wonderful book Memory
Serves, which we featured on
this podcast back in January. Her most
recent books are My Conversations with
Canadians, a non-fiction work that sets out the grounds for what a shared
future might look like for settlers and indigenous people, and the
collaborative book Hope Matters, written
with her daughters Columpa Bobb and Tania Carter. Lee joins us for a
wide-ranging conversation that begins with her experiences reading Great
Expectations aloud to her children and
her community.
Show Notes.
