My Once Life is a hybrid video poem about the continuing impact of colonization on tribal peoples. Native people resist their violent history and contemporary political struggles by engaging with deep historical knowledge and creating new oral histories. The author asked her native female friends to read her poem for a few reasons: one, to show the diversity of tribal nations living in Los Angeles, and second, to show the passion and collective connection Indigenous women have to their tribal history.
