Other Reading: The Power of Names

March 3, 2015 by _EDGE

“Malcolm X had a huge influence on me and my identity as Dene, especially when it comes to names. Refusing “Little,” the name of his family’s slave master, had me contemplating my then last name “Antoine.” This led me on a path of Indigenous self-discovery and cultural reclamation. I had also learned that re-naming a person or place is a powerful tool in the colonial subjugation of the people and places of North America. It is something that we have and continue to live with and knowingly or unknowingly have incorporated into our everyday lives. “Antoine” was assigned to my family during residential school, something that was common practice here in the North and all over Canada.”
