Joan Crate was born in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories. Her numerous publications include poetry and short stories inGrain, Secrets from the Orange Couch, blue buffalo, and the Calgary Herald
In powerful language that reflects the conflicts between the primitive and the sophisticated, Joan Crate redreams the passions which animated and tormented her famous predecessor. Part white, part Mohawk princess, Pauline Johnson /Tekahionwake would perform her poems first in buckskin, then, after the intermission, in silk.
