TOTEM
She is half English and half Native American, though her Native heritage was hidden by her family. They said her father had died when she was a baby...She found an old picture of her in the arms of a handsome Native American. Her mother could not deny. They had hidden everything blinded by racism. Presents and letters he had sent through the years, everything. She ran in anger to Vancouver to find him. The spirit of the land consumed her body, her spirit became one with the land and she transformed into a magnificent, unusual tree. Years after her mother found her, and in a final act of love she decided to paint the tree like a powerful totem in beautiful colours, patterns and stripes. A great crack appeared and as the sun rose the next morning a powerful young woman emerged. Her clothes were solid, confident, filled with new life and energy. |
