I Am a Damn Savage; What Have You Done to My Country? by An Antane Kapesh
Quebec author An Antane Kapesh's two books, Je suis une maudite sauvagesse and Qu'as-tu fait de mon pays?, are among the foregrounding works by Indigenous women in Canada. This English translation of these works, each page presented facing the revised Innu text, makes them available for the first time to a broader readership.
An Antane Kapesh (1926-2004) was an Innu writer and activist from Schefferville, Quebec. She was a chief at Schefferville (Matimekosh) from 1965-1967. Her 1976 autobiographical book Je suis une maudite sauvagesse was published in both French and Innu and dealt with topics such as loss of hunting territory, the residential school system and police brutality.
