Historical note:

Emily Pauline Johnson (Tekahionwake) (b. 10 March 1861 - d. 7 March 1913), commonly known as E. Pauline Johnson or just Pauline Johnson, was a Canadian writer and performer. She was born in Chiefswood, the family home built by her father on the Six Nations Indian Reserve outside of Brantford, ON and died in Vancouver, BC. Pauline Johnson was the youngest of four children born to George Henry Martin Johnson (1816 - 1884), a Mohawk, and Emily Susanna Howells Johnson (1824-1898), an English woman. Johnson is often remembered for her poems that celebrate her aboriginal heritage.
