My weapon is my pen and it can be more productive for me to write a piece that speaks to the issue than to take to the streets at times. Though there are times when one needs to put down the pen and take it to the streets. "

A bit about this Two-Spirit Cree/French human of many talents....Nicole is a playwright, musician, poet, innovator, and activist.  They provide a wonderful example of something Zelda brought up earlier in the course (Mod Two) about how an activist/scholar "gets by."  Nicole works in and with various organizations to earn a living that supports her calling as a poet.

Chrystos is a lesbian poet of mixed-blood ancestry but identifies with her father's Menominee ancestry (she rejects her Northern European Ancestry because of her tumultous relationship with her mother and the white culture she represents). As she did not grow up on a reservation, she refuses to be taken as the voice for Native American women or as a spiritual leader. Instead, she fights against the forced invisibility and silence put on Native American Women. She identifies with victims of violence and uses her poetry to give them voice. ]]> 2021-11-17 14:56:54 UTC https://padlet.com/tmiller246/f74jjho5y5exp9t4/wish/1897095697
