Consider the tone of her text: what is the effect of reading a text that’s intended to sound like it was spoken? Briefly compare Vowel’s writing style to another text we have read in our course.Consider this quote from Leanne Betasamosake Simpson’s book As We Have Always Done: Indigenous Freedom Through Radical Resistance (2017):”Over the years, when I’ve asked different Nishnaabeg elders about queerness, they often say that we didn’t have that. Then when I ask if two women ever lived together intimately, without men, they will remember stories of queer couples, not as queer people, but just people who lived like that, as something that wasn’t a big deal, as if it were a normal inconsequential part of life. What these elders … are describing is a gender variance that existed in many Indigenous communities prior to the strategic implanting of the colonial gender binary. This imposed an artificial gender binary as a mechanism for controlling Indigenous bodies and identity that sets out two very clear genders: male and female. It lays out two sets of rigidly defined roles based on colonial conceptions of femininity and masculinity. It then places colonial concepts of maleness and masculinity as more important than female and femininity and erases any variance … the more destruction our intimate relationships carry, the more destruction our political systems carry, and the less we are able to defend and protect our lands, and the easier it is to dispossess” (p. 123).Compare this quote with Vowel’s discussion about terms and language in her chapter. How does Simpson’s discussion about the creation of the gender binary for the Nishnaabeg people compare and contrast to Vowel’s discussion about the creation of the term Two-Spirit? What do both authors say about the importance of language to Indigenous peoples? Use specific references to Vowel’s chapter and to the quote above to support your answer.Remember to cite and reference all sources used in your answer.
