Poetry Marching for Sindy

By (author): Virginia Pesemapeo Bordeleau

Translated by: Susan Ouriou

Dive into the powerful narrative of Poetry Marching for Sindy as Virginia Pésémapéo Bordeleau examines the haunting disappearance of Sindy Ruperhouse in 2014, a woman from the Abitibiwinni First Nation. In this poignant seventh literary work, Bordeleau navigates the raw emotions of anger, sadness, and compassion that echo across the continent due to the vanishing of too many Indigenous women.

Through this evocative longform poem, Bordeleau delves into the depths of societal contempt and hatred towards Indigenous women, igniting crucial reflections on the root causes of violence against them. With a blend of spirituality and profound sensitivity, she crafts a compelling narrative that urges readers to join in her quest for justice and understanding.

Poetry Marching for Sindy serves as both a lament for Sindy?s absence and a celebration of women?s voices and the resilience of communities in the face of tragedy. Join Bordeleau on a journey of grief, longing, and hope as she honors Sindy’s memory and amplifies the voices of those who demand justice and closure. Poetry Marching for Sindy is a testament to the enduring strength of the human spirit and the unwavering power of collective action.
