Abstract: By situating Bernard Assiniwi's book at the colonization-decolonization interface of First Nations, this essay focuses on three main issues: land qua inhabited/imagined geography of the Beothuks; gender as one of the pillars of this geography in pre/postcolonial times; memory as a strategy of justice and decolonization. The objective is to problematize how Assiniwi emancipates la memória sequestrada (Galeano) of the Beothuks by means of a mythopoetics that reveals one of the dark aspects of Canada's bloody past: the genocide of the Beothuks.
