ABSTRACT
This chapter unfolds as a kaleidoscopic series of narratives, which the author places under the subheadings of "Turning(s)." Some of the narratives are photopoetic chronicles of her childhood. Others are her re-telling of pivotal moments that have shaped her complex subjectivity. The rest are frozen snapshots of experiences reconfigured as anecdotes. Although by no means definitive, collectively these texts capture the author's particular complex evolving everyday lived realities as a métisse woman. However, as cumulative text these individual evocations also pinpoint problematic anthrohistorical and psychosocial issues. Ultimately, these narratives of self contextualize the author's specific feminist "standpoint" as auto-ethnographer: The notion of traveling through space is integral to the unfolding of history and the development of the individual's consciousness with regard to the past.
