Remember
Jacqueline Oker

remember

Oker is a Beaver Indian from Peterson Crossing, British Columbia.

“Remember” is a poignant and timely poem about growing up in a residential school, and about how white society is now encouraging her to reclaim her culture:

How can I,
I replied.

You pounded these sinful ways out of me

Remember?
