Marilyn Dumont, a successful Metis poet, is widely recognized for her powerful yet subtle approach to enlightening the history of shadowed civilization, nearly brought to the brink of extinction by ethnocentrism and injustice. Being raised in a town surrounded by reserves, with a father who speaks fluent Cree, allowed me to form an appreciation for the perseverant culture, many fail to recognize. In “The land she came from,” Dumont utilizes main character Betsy Brass, known as “shiny black bird woman” to represent the fearlessness, and determinant Indigenous peoples had been dealing with such mass tragedy. Concrete walls made of starvation, and injustice placed by European settlers “when it all went wrong,” forced Indigenous people to surrender everything they had, as a reminder that, the only power Indigenous people held at the time, was that of their mind (Dumont 43). Author Marilyn Dumont employs the use of literary

In chapter four, Melina explores the effects of separating moral action and salvation, as well as the way that this rupture can be fixed. Melina thinks that the Lutheran view of justification (i.e. that faith alone “saves” a person) has contributed negatively to the erroneous idea that moral actions do not contribute to salvation. This Protestant perspective reduces morality to a secular problem that is solely interested in the earthly welfare of society and its civil well-being. The result of this kind of thinking is that charity ceases to be a virtue and it therefore loses its connection to salvation. Charity is then exclusively associated with care for the temporal welfare of others which subsequently leads to morality becoming either social utilitarianism (like proportionalism) or philanthropic altruism. This utilitarian or proportionalist position is premised on two aspects: the “rightness” of a person’s action and the “goodness” of his intention. This proportionalist relationship between intention and action unfortunately leads to a transcendental fundamental option, which sees man as a “spirit” that
