E. Pauline Johnson (1861–1913), also known by her Mohawk name Tekahionwake, was a Canadian writer and performer celebrated for her poetry, prose, and performances that integrated her First Nations heritage. Born on the Six Nations Reserve in Ontario to a Mohawk chief of mixed ancestry and an English mother, Johnson's bicultural heritage profoundly influenced her literary work and presentation style. The Moccasin Maker, published posthumously in 1913, is one of her notable collections, comprising short stories that reflect upon the complexities of Indigenous identity and cultural assimilation. Johnson's writing is characterized by its emotive depth, lyrical grace, and the bold confrontation of contemporary social issues affecting Indigenous peoples. She often incorporated Indigenous characters and themes into her work, offering perspectives on the experience of cultural duality. As a stage performer, Johnson adopted the persona of a Mohawk princess, reciting her poetry and sharing stories that challenged and educated her audiences about Indigenous cultures. Her literary style bridges Victorian influences and oral storytelling traditions, showcasing her unique position in Canadian literary history as a bridge between cultures. Johnson's contributions have garnered critical scholarly attention for their role in the development of early Canadian literature and the promotion of Indigenous voices within it.
