i am graffiti by Leanne Simpson

Please see the following site for Simpon's powerful poem: 

http://thewalrus.ca/i-am-graffiti/

And an interview on Simpon:

Read Simpon's interview after we analyze the poem.

Then add at least five lines to the line from Simpon's poem:

except, i am graffiti

You may write your lines as a poem and so create five lines of poetry, 

or you can write a small paragraph. 

Find a picture from the web or draw a picture.

Please don't put your name on this work but let me know it is your work.

You will post it around the school, where makes sense to you to make a 

statement about resilience 

and your reaction to the TRC, 

and Indigenous peoples in Canada.
