Indigenous Canadian poet Josephine Bacon is an important voice in contemporary french-speaking literature as well as in indigenous literature. Therefore, we analyzed her writing based on performance theories (Taylor, Ravetti, Zunthor, among others) because we believe that her poems have strong features of oral and performative literature. The author characterizes herself as an heiress of Innu oral literature, her original people. We will understand how Joséphine's production is inserted in contemporary amerindian literary production (based on the studies of Gatti and Olivieri-Godet), and also how she brings her ancestrally, her experiences and her socio-political look to her readers in her poems.
