L'auteure y examine son expérience vécue d'Inuk urbaine née, élevée, et ayant toujours vécu dans une ville canadienne au sud du 60e parallèle nord. Ses écrits prennent en considération les nombreuses pratiques d'assimilation auxquelles les Inuit urbains sont sans cesse confrontés, ainsi que les attentes de la majorité dominante sur ce qu'un Inuk peut et doit faire ou être. À travers ses textes inclassables, elle exprime ce que c'est que de ressentir le constant rejet de ses écrits de la part de personnes non-inuit et comment elle trouve le courage de persévérer malgré tout, avec ce qu'elle tient pour vrai, démontrant ainsi l'importance de garder la tête haute et de rester au plus près de ses mots en tant que femme autochtone.
