Whispers freighted with odour swinging into the air,
Russet needles as censers swing to an altar, where
The angels’ songs are less divine
Than duo sung twixt breeze and pine.
- From “The Happy Hunting Grounds” by Six Nations Mohawk poet E. Pauline Johnson, early 20th century

@canadaehx Sad and eerie to think of the well-educated and respected Pauline Johnson, speaking out for respect for Indigenous people and using Indigenous culture to emphasize her points, being in the same room as Duncan Campbell Scott, the architect of Canada's Residential School system, who sought to destroy Indigenous cultures and 'remove the Indian from the child'.
