A Scattered Identity
Jane Dawson was adopted as an infant by a couple from a small village in Quebec. They always felt it important that she be brought up with the full knowledge of her roots and identity. Having learned that Jane was Mexican, the child grew up eating Mexican foods, listening to Latin music and traveling to Mexico for holidays. It is only much later, married and living in Toronto, that Jane will discover from an official document that she is in fact of aboriginal ancestry. This will completely change her life. She will leave her home in Toronto to her young daughter and move to Betsiamites, an Innu community in northern Quebec. There she will find what has been missing in her life.
