E. Pauline Johnson, also known as Tekahionwake, is remarkable as one of a very few early North American Indigenous poets and fiction writers. Most Indigenous writers of her time were men educated for the ministry who published religious, anthropological, autobiographical, political, and historical works, rather than poetry and fiction. More extraordinary still, Johnson became both a canonical poet and a literary celebrity, performing on stage for fifteen years across Canada, in the United States, and in London. Johnson is now seen as a central figure in the intellectual history of Canada and the US, and an important historical example of Indigenous feminism. This edition collects a diverse range of Johnson’s writings on what was then called “the Indian question” and on the question of her own complex Indigenous identity. Six thematic sections gather Johnson’s poetry, fiction, and nonfiction, and a rich selection of historical appendices provides context for her public life and her work as a feminist and activist for Indigenous people.

At a time when female and Native authors worked under significant social and economic constraints, E. Pauline Johnson (1861--1913) not only built a remarkably successful career, she managed to use her platform in order to challenge the male-dominated Eurocentric society from which she drew her audience. This popular author's literary stature has not always been certain, but today she is the "most widely anthologized Native poet in North America" (qtd. in Gerson, 2002) and the subject of numerous dissertations and journal articles. With the publication of Paddling Her Own Canoe: The Times and Texts of E. Pauline Johnson, Tekahionwake (2000), Gerson and Strong-Boag articulated a new approach to Johnson scholarship and provided, for the first time, an extensive listing of Johnson's ephemeral publications, manuscripts, and untraced works. Building on their scholarship, this project offers a detailed bibliographic treatment and publishing history for each of Johnson's separately published titles.

Frequently dismissed as a 'nature poet' and an 'Indian Princess' E. Pauline Johnson (1861-1913) was not only an accomplished thinker and writer but a contentious and passionate personality who 'talked back' to Euro-Canadian culture. Paddling Her Own Canoe is the only major scholarly study that examines Johnson's diverse roles as a First Nations champion, New Woman, serious writer and performer, and Canadian nationalist. A Native advocate of part-Mohawk ancestry, Johnson was also an independent, self-supporting, unmarried woman during the period of first-wave feminism. Her versatile writings range from extraordinarily erotic poetry to polemical statements about the rights of First Nations. Based on thorough research into archival and published sources, this volume probes the meaning of Johnson's energetic career and addresses the complexities of her social, racial, and cultural position. While situating Johnson in the context of turn-of-the-century Canada, the authors also use current feminist and post-colonial perspectives to reframe her contribution. Included is the first full chronology ever compiled of Johnson's writing. Pauline Johnson was an extraordinary woman who crossed the racial and gendered lines of her time, and thereby confounded Canadian society. This study reclaims both her writings and her larger significance.

'Flint and Feather: Collected Verse' by E. Pauline Johnson is an exquisite collection of poetry that showcases the heart and soul of Canada's greatest poet. Johnson's work, born from her experiences of the ancient legends of the Iroquois and the great works of English literature, travels around Canada, and natural scenery, has a timeless quality that still resonates today. Her vivid descriptions of Canadian lakes, rivers, mountains, trees, and fauna capture the Canadian soul's gentle loneliness and exotic fascination with faraway places. With themes of nationalism, nature, and survival, Johnson's poetry is a must-read for anyone looking to immerse themselves in Canadian literature. Here's an excerpt from one of the many poems included in this collection, 'The Cattle Thief': "They were coming across the prairie, they were galloping hard and fast / For the eyes of those desperate riders had sighted their man at last— / Sighted him off to Eastward, where the Cree encampment lay / Where the cottonwoods fringed the river, miles and miles away."

Canadian Born (1895) is a collection of poems by E. Pauline Johnson. Revered as one the foremost indigenous Canadian poets of her time, Johnson was a prolific writer whose works explored her Mohawk heritage while shedding light on the racism and persecution faced by indigenous peoples across North America. Canadian Born captures Johnson's range as a poet in tune with the Romantic tradition without erasing her dualistic sense of identity as a woman of Mohawk and English heritage. Introducing her collection with a brief inscription, the poet lays out the political purpose of her work addressed to all "Canadian born" individuals, "whether he be [her] paleface compatriot who has given to [her] his right hand of good fellowship," or "that dear Red brother of whatsoever tribe or Province." No matter the identity of her reader, Johnson hopes to show them that "White Race and Red are one if they are but Canadian born." Whether or not she succeeds in her mission is up to the reader to decide, and yet the beauty and power of her poetry cannot be denied. Personal and political, patriotic and critical of colonial misdeeds, Johnson captures as much as she can of the Canadian experience, paying equal regard to a mariner longing to return to "the sea, the hungry sea" and an Indian corn husker with "Age in her fingers, hunger in her face, / Her shoulders stooped with weight of work and years." With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of E. Pauline Johnson's Canadian Born is a classic of Canadian literature reimagined for modern readers.

The White Wampum (1895) is the debut poetry collection of E. Pauline Johnson. Originally published in London, The White Wampum launched her career as one of Canada’s most distinguished artists. Revered as one the foremost indigenous poets of her time, Johnson was a prolific writer whose works explored her Mohawk heritage while shedding light on the racism and persecution faced by indigenous peoples across North America. The White Wampum captures Johnson’s range as a poet in tune with the Romantic tradition without erasing her dualistic sense of identity as a woman of Mohawk and English heritage. Choosing to emphasize the former, Johnson, who also went by Tekahionwake, her great-grandfather’s name, adopts the persona of a Mohawk wife devoted to her husband, a powerful warrior: “I am Ojistoh, I am she, the wife / Of him whose name breathes bravery and life / And courage to the tribe that calls him chief. / I am Ojistoh, his white star, and he / Is land, and lake, and sky—and soul to me.” When members of the rival Huron tribe capture Ojistoh, their plan for retribution fails to account for her own strength and willpower. Outnumbered and unarmed, she remains certain she will return to her husband alive. In “The Camper,” Johnson invokes the beauty and simplicity of life on the plains, erasing for a moment all distinction between man and god, heaven and earth: “Night neath the northern skies, lone, black, and grim: / Nought but the starlight lies twixt heaven, and him. / Of man no need has he, of God, no prayer; / He and his Deity are brothers there.” With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of E. Pauline Johnson’s The White Wampum is a classic of Canadian literature reimagined for modern readers.
