E. Pauline Johnson, Tekahionwake: Collected Poems and Selected Prose

E. Pauline Johnson (Tekahionwake) was a Native advocate of part-Mohawk ancestry, an independent woman during the period of first-wave feminism, a Canadian nationalist who also advocated strengthening the link to imperial England, a versatile prose writer, and one of modern Canada's best-selling poets.

Johnson longed to see the publication of a complete collection of her verse, but that wish remained unfulfilled during her life.

Nine decades after her death, this complete collection of all of Pauline Johnson's known poems, many painstakingly culled from newspapers, magazines, and archives, is available.;In response to the recognition of Johnson's historical position as a figure of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, this volume also presents a representative selection of her prose, including fiction about native-settler relations, journalism about women and recreation, and discussions of gender roles and racial stereotypes.
