The rituals, teachings, ceremonies and identities of indigenous people have been lost and neglected in the past. Even today, those in the culture continue to heal and grow stronger from the consequences. In the poem "My Ledders" by Louise Halfe, an indigenous woman addresses the Pope and expresses her passionate feelings towards the traditions that have been stripped of her culture, while begging him to return to the original teachings. In the letter, the speaker writes as if she is speaking, using phonetic spelling and broken English, asking the pope if he could use his power to conserve indigenous culture, while the government could listen. Directly linking the loss of Indigenous traditions, customs and languages ​​to the residential school system, the speaker uses a speech combining Indigenous dialect and satire to express how losses over the course of a generation continue to affect Indigenous identity future generations. Considering the idea that the pope is associated with the Christian faith and the debate about how indigenous culture was mistreated, it is clear that the speaker is speaking out in favor of the effects resulting from residential schools. There is not only a reference to the Pope but also to many Christian beliefs and traditions. The speaker goes into more detail about Christian traditions, while those of indigenous culture are only cited. The author mentions "fastin" (41) and "drinking his [God's] blood" (49), but only briefly names "sweat lodges and sun dances" (6) which correspond to the natives. It is stated in the poem that the cultural customs are taken from "nohkom and nimosom" (5), which are grandmother and grandfather in the speaker's language. Therefore, this can prove how a later generation...... middle of paper ...... you dook/ cup of gold and wine/ pass it around in circles" (29-33), the Sardonic attitude is illustrated once again The ironic tone is not only addressed through the use of Christianity, but the speaker also explains how ironic it is that it is becoming acceptable to "white men" (14). of building sweat lodges. The speaker uses satire to express the feelings of disgust related to the way her culture has been altered and combined with a loss of meaning. As this poem characterizes the perspective of a native woman. expressing feelings of passion related to his culture, he also criticizes society, particularly Christianity, as the speaker experiences feelings of discontent with the results of residential schools He does not criticize the faith directly, but through the use. from a heavy native dialect and its implications for the Christian faith, it becomes simple to read the speaker's emotions..
