She is half English and half Native American, though her Native
heritage was hidden by her family. They said her father had died when
she was a baby…She found an old picture of her in the arms of a
handsome Native American. Her mother could not deny. They had hidden
everything blinded by racism. Presents and letters he had sent through
the years, everything. She ran in anger to Vancouver to find him. The
spirit of the land consumed her body, her spirit became one with the
land and she transformed into a magnificent, unusual tree. Years after
her mother found her, and in a final act of love she decided to paint
the tree like a powerful totem in beautiful colours, patterns and
stripes. A great crack appeared and as the sun rose the next morning a
powerful young woman emerged. Her clothes were solid, confident, filled
with new life and energy.
