An Identity Crisis

I certainly know who I am . . . I can get away with being politically incorrect. I am the ambassador to First Nations’ poetic expressions & as Kinsella pompously put it straight “I have the license to do so.” what a magical way to escape tyranny! just like Trudeau & Chrétien hiding beneath cowboy hats nevertheless & back to the point, call me cowboy call me First Nations call me aboriginal call me native call me chug call me skin if you must, but never call me Indian. I call myself that! & if you feel guilty when I say so, this is not about postcolonial rhetoric it is about an identity crisis
