A beautiful children's picture book about a young Indigenous girl who has lost her language and her culture because of her time at Shubenacadie School. This story inspired another author, Rebecca Thomas, to respond with a matching book called Finding My Talk which is about a young woman trying to re-gain her culture. I highly recommend reading them together. ( ) This is a touching poetry picture book about a young Native American girl who feels she is losing her talk, as she conforms to the school’s requirements. She looks out over the water and dreams of finding her talk. Elders help her find her voice. I will absolutely include both I Lost My Talk and I’m Finding my Voice as mentor text within my classroom. Beautifully written and illustrated. The notes in the back about the school and author bring a deeper meaning and respect for the challenges Native Americans have endured. #NetGalley #Hottingerhighlights #ILostMyTalk #family #culture ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

"One of Rita Joe's most influential poems, "I Lost My Talk" tells the revered Mi'kmaw Elder's childhood story of losing her language while a resident of the residential school in Shubenacadie, Nova Scotia. An often quoted piece in this era of truth and reconciliation, Joe's powerful words explore and celebrate the survival of Mi'kmaw culture and language despite its attempted eradication. A companion book to the simultaneously published I'm Finding My Talk by Rebecca Thomas, I Lost My Talk is a necessary reminder of a dark chapter in Canada's history, a powerful reading experience, and an effective teaching tool for young readers of all cultures and backgrounds. Includes a biography of Rita Joe and striking colour illustrations by Mi'kmaw artist Pauline Young."-- No library descriptions found. |
