Swift Fox All Along by Rebecca Thomas

September 20, 2022  /  Will Sengotta

Read Swift fox all along

Rebecca Lee Thomas is a Mi'kmaw author who is a daughter of a Residential School survivor. Swift Fox All Along recounts the story of Swift Fox, a girl who is relearning her Mi’kmaw culture through visiting her extended family—an experience that closely mirrored that of Rebecca Lee Thomas as she uses this book to address the effects of generational trauma. Initially, Swift Fox feels out of place with her extended Mi’kmaw family. She is unaware of the customs and traditions of her Indigenous culture and throughout the book, she strives to connect to her forgotten heritage.

A poet and author, Rebecca Lee Thomas uses her works to address the racism and inequality experienced by Indigenous peoples. Through her poetry, she has been named the Halifax Regional Municipality’s poet laureate and works to empower young Indigenous students to explore their own heritage at Nova Scotia Community College.
