Concerned with the Canadian context, this study proposes a critique as a strategy to access a time relatively ignored in historical-literary manuals. Particularly focused on the discussion of ethnic-racial issues in literary education, elements are provided for the understanding of post-colonial literature in its interface with pedagogical relations, in the face of marginalization in curricula, and the absence in the canon of the literary production of minority groups in Canada. Thus, there is herein a commitment to opening borders through a critical and theoretical movement capable of overcoming the rigidity of traditional limits in the interpretation of the world, resulting in more flexible, plural, and heterogeneous readings of Canadian literature, as opposed to totalizing understandings remaining from colonialist discourse.

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.
