I Knew Georgina Papin - Medicine Woman

Georgina Papin was a medicine woman. Without her guidence, I would not be alive today. I loved her and appreciated her words. I am a First Nations person from British Columbia, and I worked along side Georgina on a steering committee for a aboriginal preschool.

I am also working on a story that will include the "Missing Women" that are a important part of the story.

I feel strongly the world should know who she was, and what she meant to the world. Everytime I hear of the Pickton trial, I have very mixed feelings. The mainstream media only sees her as a working girl, murdered. I knew her as a mother of three, two of whom are twins. She was a important cog in the wheel that made my community and heart strong.

She was a medicine woman, and her medicine was strong and held me for days and months, when I felt I could not carry on alone. I wish you well in your endevour with your work, and I am glad and hopeful when I bob my head in and out of cyber-space, and find websites like yours.

In Brotherhood,
