What is the aim or goal of your writing: She is a North American Indian of the Bay of Quinte Mohawks. "I figure by now most readers know me as "that Mohawk lesbian," or "that nice Indian Granny who lives in the States." Both statements are true. And I know who I am-something I couldn't have said years ago when I was a battered woman, a self-hating half-breed, a woman and before I began to write. Anyway, most of my stories are about lesbians and gay men; all are about Indians. "To Be or Not To Be Has Never Been the Question." from Writing as Witness: Essay and Talk.
