Joseph A. Dandurand is a Kwantlen Aboriginal poet and playwright, whose work extends into archeology. His plays include “Where Two Rivers Meet” and “Shake”, and his poetry is anthologized in three collections, including “dead and scratching for the poor”. His poem “Unlike Any Other Day” is rooted in the west coast landscape Dandurand calls home, tying the long, deep history of his people, both tragic and triumphant, to the land itself.

Consider the place you live. What connects you to it? What makes it your home?
