Abstract
""I am a Redskin, but I am something else, too—I am a woman."
The words of one of Pauline Johnson's characters could well be those of the author herself. Johnson was a Mohawk Indian who gained renown as a poet, and the stories she unfolds in The Moccasin Maker reflect the plight of Indian women caught between the forces of cultural continuity and the pressures of assimilation in turn-of-the-century Canada. LaVonne Brown Ruoff's new introduction and extensive notes place the author and her work in perspective for modern readers."--Back cover.
