267 Words2 Pages
Lena Ruwoldt’s Indigenous Studies research article titled “Learning to Walk Again” explores the struggles that Indigenous people face today, and the healing processes that they promote through Native literature and activism. Ruwoldt calls this action "Healing Activism," which is defined as "a new form of resistance that transcends textual spheres and fosters a greater visibility" (105). She specifically focuses on the short story “room 414” written by Anishinaabe author Cherie Dimaline, as well as the Idle No More movement. As Ruwoldt analyzes "room 414," she examines the healing story of an Aboriginal girl who goes from being a prostitute on the streets to discovering herself, finding meaning, and reclaiming her Indigenous identity.
