Stations of the Crossed

by Carol Rose GoldenEagle

Overview

Recalling Easter church services she attended as a child, Carol Rose GoldenEagle draws on the “stations of the cross,” the annual ritual of the priest presenting plaques depicting the stages of Christ’s persecution to his resurrection. Using these early teachings as a springboard for critical reflections, the poems in Stations of the Crossed look back but, more importantly, look forward to reclaim the gifts given by Creator within Indigenous culture.

Carol Rose GoldenEagle’s searing new poetry collection examines the dark legacy of the Residential School System, Church and government doctrine, and the ongoing impacts on Indigenous Peoples’ lives across Turtle Island.
