Who Am I? The Poetry of Indian Children
Archival Item
The poems in this book were written by Indian children in Ontario and Northern Quebec. Some are from large schools, so close to cities as to be almost urban; some come from tiny one-room schools deep in the northern bush. Some were produced by children whose only language is English; some come from children whose mother tongue is Cree or Ojibway, and who have only recently learned English as a second language.
We regret that we do not have a complete list of all the teachers in whose classrooms these poems were developed. We commend them, however, for their sensitivity in collecting the work, and thank them for being willing to share it with us all.
