Pauline Johnson is known as the Indian princess who became a famous Canadian poet. In fact, she was neither a princess nor a full Indian - her mother was English and her father was three-quarters Mohawk - and in her own day she was better known as a stage personality. In an attempt to portray her as a virginal princess, her sister Eva destroyed all her papers after her death and so became the prime source for (mis)information. Now Betty Keller sets the record straight after years of researching Johnson's life.
