mihkokwaniy

by joshua whitehead

mihkokwaniy

my kokum has many names:

the indian woman

the whitehead lady

a saskatoon female

but my favourite is:

the beauty queen;

they never meant to call her beautiful

what they meant by beauty was:

cheapdirtybrownprostitutedrugaddictalcoholicfirewaterslut

when they write: “an indian about 35 years old

naked from the waist down

died from asphyxiation

at the queen’s hotel

effects of alcohol

&sedatives”

they don’t mean beauty as in:

mino iskwēw

or: “pleasing the sense or mind aesthetically;

of a very high standard; excellent”

what they mean is

she is beautiful for a squaw in ‘62

she pleases the body

of white men who burn in the loins

for the teal-shade of a browning bruise;

when i type into google

“how to say beautiful in cree”

i get: shaoulle

& when i type that into google i get:

“brutal murder-sex assault case”

seeRE:rinelleharpercindygladuetinafontaine

that’s my grandmother:

she is a mino iskwēw

the beauty queen

a woman with a name:

rose whitehead

&shediedbecauseofit

i read somewhere that saskatchewan

is an economic machine

for producing rape—

seed&honey

& in tisdale you can buy a mug that says:

the land of rape and honey

that’s where my kokum is buried

& her grave is a modest little place

where rabbits visit & sometimes chew

where little dandelions bloom

grant wishes to the wind

to her children who are scattered

across the plains of kanata

looking for a quick fix

& for anger to heal

or at least amend

like it does for a judge

who gifts a man six years

for the death of three women;

i think of my nôhtâwiy

her son who lost his name to a polish man

& felt the sting of day schools

even if priests beat & made honey

with their fists smooshed

into the sweet rot of little brown boys

who liked hockey & lived in suburbs

with whites who made them wait

in the freezing cold

& broke their noses on the ice—

but you’re still not ready to apologize

for that just white yet

my kokum has made many headlines:

“woman found strangled”

being the most consistent

a fifty word article that calls for sympathy

not for the “strangulation death

of the whitehead woman”

but for the man:

steven kozaruk of esterhazy

who “was suffering from the effects

of alcohol and sleeping pills”

even with a “seven-man jury”

& “thirteen witnesses,” lives—

his whiteness is his weakness

(even if its biceps can crack a brown neck like a wishbone)

and that weakness is his innocence;

the life of my kokum is worth:

six years & fifty words;

all these things overlap

interweave, interlay, interplay, interact

penes

|inter|intra|

|probo|capio|vita|

terra|corona|letum|nullius

tansimaslow

my kokum is famous

a real holly golightly

i bet she even eats

fried bologna sandwiches

at tiffanys

aint that right gran?

when i visit your grave

in saskatoon

i see the face of kozaruk

on the prairie scene

fatteninginsuburbia

& here you are

with a rag-tag little monument

made of sticks & leaves

stems from jackrabbits

that seem to visit often

a little blue ribbon

god knows from who

& a sad little brown boy

with a million questions like:

how are you doing?

do you hate klik too?

what would life have been like

if you had lived beyond thirtyfive?

would i be alive?

would the cancers in my dad

not have crept & lived

spelled doom on his skin?

would i be able to speak cree

without having to google translate

this for you?

would you make me cookies

& teach me how to sew back on the limbs

to my plush rabbit floppy ears?

would you call me “m’boy?”

& take me to sundances

powwows, bingo nights too?

would you make sure i feed the rez dogs

when they all come around?

would you make me a jingle dress

cause i want to be a pretty dancer like you—

would you teach me what it means to be two-spirit

tell me i can be a beautiful brown boy in love?

make me say niizh manitoag—feel the power on the tongue?

would you teach me to knead bannock

make life from lard—

a real ratio for reckoning?

hi kokum?

can i call you on the phone?

i promise not to call collect

i just want to hear your voice

tell you i learned what it means

to say i love you

& feel the whole of cree

coalescing in my breath:

kisâkihitin; my god, kisâkihitin

hey gran?

can i ask you something quick?

are you okay up there in godknowswhere?

do you see what we’ve all done?

my dad says these things all happen for a reason

that i wouldn’t be here if they didn’t

hey gran?

i’m sorry—

you know that right?

did you have to die for me to be alive?

heygranheygranheygranheygran

i’ll let you be

& stop being sick’ning

i bet you’re busy

cooking macaroniandtomatosoup

for twelve hundred missing & murdered women,

girls & two-spirit folk

it’s just, am i supposed to hate him, gran?

tell him that with one death

he ruined the lives of an entire family?

i want to tell him that the life of a person

is an archive of memory

& when you he strangled the life out of you

in a queens hotel shoddy little bed

the last gasping breath you exhaled

held in it little particles

fragments of time:

a bay leaf boiling in tomato sauce;

a flake of tuna that a

cat named randy

licked&licked&licked;

the soft cry of a baby boy

plummeting into day;

the smell of sweet grass smudging

monsters from our bedrooms;

tell him: when you kill a memory

you snuff out metaphor

turn off the light in a home;

you destroy a world where children

are nursing still&still;

—& aint that the hardest truth?

to be honest

i’m no aeneas

no marvellous country house poem

no faeryland, no golden world

no chimeric homeric epic

i’m just a little brown boy

queered by his colour

writing for a kokum he’s never met;

but i promise you:

these spaces can transform

an injun into a warrior

who can claw, scrape, fight

who can write on a piece of paper

sign a name instead of an ‘X’

that says, “this is my kokum

& her name is Rose Whitehead;

and she is

beauty queen extraordinaire.”

I dedicate this poem to all missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, and two-spirit peoples; for their families, friends, loved ones, and kin.  We are a collective trauma that demands to be examined, reconciled, resolved, and healed.

Today we survive; tomorrow we resist.

#i need everyone to read this #i'm in vancouver and i didn't bring my copy of full metal indigiqueer so i can't read this in the physical form #but being in vancouver feels so heavy because there is so much loss #vancouver and winnipeg are big for mmiw unfortunately #poetry #indigenous poetry #literature #full metal indigequeer #joshua whitehead #cree #oji-cree #art #indigenous art #indigenous authors #book reccomendations

[this-world-of-beautiful-monsters]

Tfw you want to hold a book to your chest and squeeze it real hard, squeeze it full of love for the writer and the words and the message and the imagery and the whole beautiful frightening lot of it, squeeze it and rock back and forth just to really let it sink in

but you can’t because the paperback edition is too thin and floppy for proper squeezing.

#I have squeezed other books pretty hard though #anyway this is a message to go read full metal indigiqueer by Joshua whitehead #books #reading

[sunriseseance]

did i see “willing to give book recs” 👀 i would love to see u list some favourite!!!

ALWAYS

1. Full-metal Indigiqueer by Joshua Whitehead is an AMAZING technology driven poetry narrative about growing up twospirit, gay, and indigenous in Canada.

2. Who would I be if I didn't reccomend The Crying of Lot 49 by Thomas Pynchon, a book about how we know everything and nothing. Very funny, very fresh.

3. Black Jesus and Other Superheroes by Venita Blackburn is my all time favorite short story collection, it combines beautiful language with rich characters. Cannot reccomend highly enough.

4. I think every person on earth should read something by Toni Morrison. My personal choice is Paradise, which is a story of an all black town as told by the lives of the women in and outside. But you can't go wrong, so feel free to literally just close your eyes and choose.

5. Gonna have to be House of Leaves by Mark Danielewski. It's the book that takes the most advantage of being A Book of any book I've ever, ever seen. It's also fun, funky, fresh.

Joshua Whitehead

Joshua Whitehead is one of the most out there writers to come out of Canada in the past five years. Being a fairly recent contributor to the list of LGBTQ+ Indigenous writers, Joshua published his first book “full-metal indigiqueer” in 2017. The book is a poetry collection focusing heavily on the intersection of Indigenous identity and being twospirited. It is a very playful collection of poetry where it follows Zoa, a twospirited trickster who crosses paths with the likes of Shakespear and Dickens all the way to figures such as RuPaul and Lana Del Ray. 

Joshua’s work can be perceived as very personal. He studies Indigenous literature and culture at the University of Calgary with the focus being specifically on gender and sexuality. His work has always been unapologetically about issues and topics surrounding these themes as well. And his writing style, much like his fashion, is very progressive, playful, yet impactful. Being very in touch with the LGBTQ+ community in Canada as well as his Indigenous roots, Joshua really does put his life and spirit into his work as well as his activism.

[piizunn]

i went to massy books (Indigenous owned and operated!!!) in Vancouver today and got a copy of the the north west is our mother by jean teilet and full metal indigiqueer by joshua whitehead- which is a rare find but i’m so excited. i read one poem from it for class last semester and it ruined me. i don’t love all of kent monkman’s work but the painting on the cover of full metal indigiqueer is so good, probably one of my favourites by monkman

#i’ll post pics later #and i can explain the kent monkman thing more too #essentially it’s not his style or anything it’s the way he depicts black people #and it’s not the way they look #monkman just has this habit of positioning himself/his altar ego miss chief eagle testickle #as like a saviour of black people #idk just like stay talking about your own history mr monkman #idk if his ancestors ever even interacted with the trans atlantic slave trade so idk why he did that #i appreciate the way he critiques emily carr and other famous canadian land scape painters though

Full Metal Indigiqueer

Last year I took human geography, in which a lot of the content was about the history and colonization. Before last year, I don’t think I ever properly considered the current effects of colonization. I’m really glad I had this persepective before interacting with this book. Because of my previous education I understood that the literary structure is working to subvert the colonial structure. I did find it hard to read but worth the work because the things that make it hard to read served a purpose it the meaning.
