Translated from French by Howard Scott. Assi Manifesto is a celebration of the Innu land in the tradition of Jos?phine Bacon. This telluric power is reminiscent of Paul Chamberland's Terre Qu?bec. Natasha Kanap s challenge is to name her land, but also to reconcile opposites. In this collection of poetry, the author engages with the environment, colonialism, anxiety, anger, healing, solitude, and love. "Assi" in Innu means Land. Assi Manifesto is primarily a land of women. If the manifesto is a public space, Assi is a forum of life, a song for those who open their spirit to its mystery.

Natasha Kanapé Fontaine, born in 1991, is a slam poet, visual artist and Indigenous rights activist. Innu of Pessamit community of the North Shore, she spent most of her life in urban areas, as did many other Aboriginal youth of her generation. Noticed first in Rimouski where she was studying, and at events in Montreal in spring 2012, Natasha Kanapé Fontaine is prominent on the provincial slam scene--she's been dubbed the territorial slammer. She figures on Radio-Canada's Plus on est de fou, plus on lit! list of ten young writers to watch.

She lives in Montreal.
