When Washington Territory was created, the narrow, isolated Okanogan River Valley was considered a wasteland and an Indian reservation, the Chief Joseph Reserve, was established there.

Un cri s'élève en moi qui me transfigure. Le monde attend que la femme revienne au monde comme elle est née telle qu'elle est: femme naissance, femme droite, femme debout, femme puissante. Femme résurgence. Renaissance. Un appel s'élève en moi et j'ai décidé de lui dire oui. Dire oui à ma naissance. Assumer en mon esprit les mémoires qui émergent en même temps que la voix des femmes autochtones se dressent au-dessus de la noirceur ambiante....

Après Naomi Fontaine, voilà qu'on goûte aux mots de Natasha Kanapé Fontaine. Il faut prêter l'oreille à ce chant de paix, à cette voix qui s'élève pour faire entendre
