My Name is Bosnia

Joséphine Bacon

This bilingual work (English and Innu-aimun) is an invitation to discourse. Batons ? message makes reference to a set of reference points that allow nomads to orient themselves inland and to rediscover their voice and their way. Equally sensitive to the relationship, the work is founded on the mutual support, solidarity and sharing, necessary to the survival of the Innu people. The language echoes Nutshimit, the language of the region, chanted by the drum. The history of the First Nations people resonates in their rightful anger and their struggles for dignity, the rights to their territory, and cohabitation. Simple and beautiful, Jos?phine Bacon's poetry is an homage to the land, the ancestors, and the Innu-aimon language. This poetic testimony recounts the unpublished areas of history. A cosmogenic vision that plunges us into the intensity of the elders' words: the voyage of the bearer of dreams and visions, the horizons of the guide women, the courage of the huntsmen, the children, guarantors of the endurance of the voyage and the trees, unfaltering witnesses of the journey.
