an organization comprised of representatives of Johns Hopkins

Our second short video,
produced by Tâpwê in May 2007, is
a reading of Jaisey Simard’s poem “Only the Devil
Speaks Indian." The poem explores the trauma experienced by
those forced to attend Indian Residential Schools starting in the late
1800’s. It was
presented at the NYC book publishing party for
the newest volume of "THE TRUTH ABOUT THE
FACT -International Journal of Literary Nonfiction" in which Jaisey's poem is included.
Jaisey was unable to come to NYC from CA to attend the publishing
party and this was taped for her.
