“All red races are born Socialists, and most tribes carry out their communistic ideas to the letter. Amongst the Iroquois it is considered disgraceful to have food if your neighbour has none. To be a creditable member of the nation you must divide your possessions with your less fortunate fellows.”
Tekahionwake (E. Pauline Johnson), The Sea-Serpent (1911)
“That is why we maintain that the Colonies are the breeding-ground for the type of fascist mentality which is being let loose in Europe today.”
George Padmore, How Britain Rules Africa (1936)
“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.”
