Emily Pauline Johnson was one of Canada's most popular and successful entertainers at the turn-of-the-century. The daughter of a Mohawk Native-Canadian father and an
English mother, Pauline Johnson used the Mohawk name "Tekahionwake". Then, at the age of 31, when her society expected her to marry and have children, she began to tour the country.
She gave popular recitals of her poetry, comedy routines and plays from Halifax to Vancouver.
