Journal Article
Land and language through story
2020
Overview
The first is Otter's Journey through Indigenous Language and Law by Lindsay Keegitah Borrows, a graduate of the University of Victoria's Indigenous Law Research Unit. [...]the evocative language that Borrows offers in her telling of the creation story in her introduction, in her enmeshing of the realities of language revitalization in Canada and New Zealand in Chapter Three, and especially, I find, in her experiences in the Salish Sea in Chapter Five, talking with Raven, serves to make real for me as a reader the power of the stories as conduits to ecologically, linguistically, and legally precise truths. By spending time with the giant, the smaller man learns to see animals and the land at a different scale, and he acquires powerful foods and abilities even as he and the giant part ways.
