E. Pauline Johnson (Tekahionwake) (1861-1913), Tochter eines Mohawk Chief und einer Engländerin, wuchs in beiden Kulturen auf. Die letzten Jahre ihres Lebens verbrachte sie in der Gegend um Vancouver, Canada. Sie liebte es, ausgedehnte Kanufahrten und Wanderungen durch die beeindruckende Natur der Westküste zu unternehmen, die voller Legenden der Einheimischen steckt. Mit Begeisterung sammelte und veröffentlichte sie diese. Auch heute noch kann man die Schauplätze finden, wo sich die spannenden und lehrreichen, jahrhundertealten Überlieferungen um magische Kräfte, Liebe und Krieg, gute und böse Mächte abspielten. E. Pauline Johnson und die Erzähler der Geschichten sind längst verstorben, ihr Buch aber trägt die Botschaft der Weisheiten weiterhin in die Welt und lässt den Besucher Vancouvers die Naturwunder der Landschaft mit anderen Augen sehen.

Ihr Werk zelebrierte ihr Erbe der First Nations und verband mohawkische und englische Abstammung. Johnson gehörte zu einer Generation weit verbreiteter Autoren, die begannen, eine kanadische Literatur zu definieren. Ihre Gedichte und Auftritte fanden Anerkennung, und nach einem anfänglichen Rückgang ihres literarischen Ansehens ist ein erneutes Interesse an ihrem Leben und Werk entstanden.
