“But I also revived our old stories as a means to frame modern stories like myth-making. The first time I ever saw that done I was about ten or eleven and someone gave me a copy of ‘Tales of Vancouver’ by E. Pauline Johnson and Capilano who was a direct relative of mine was retelling the story of the sea serpent, but he was predicting what is happening now, the industrialization of Canada, and that was 1880. I thought, that’s what I want to do. I want to retell these stories as if they were happening now.”
– Lee Maracle (Stó:lō), interviewed by Tania Willard (Secwepemc), Redwire Magazine (April 2003)
