When the Spirit Leaves the Body
What happens when your spirit becomes so distressed it simply leaves? The Coast Salish people have a name for this: spirit sickness. You lose consciousness, interest in life drains away, body heat vanishes, and eventually you lie down and never rise again. This isn't metaphor-it's a precise diagnosis passed down through generations, sung in ancestral songs about salmon season and supernatural illness. For Sasha LaPointe, a Coast Salish writer navigating the wreckage of personal trauma and colonial violence, this ancient understanding becomes the key to her survival. Her memoir "Red Paint" doesn't just chronicle pain; it maps the geography of healing, tracing a path from childhood sexual abuse through miscarriage and cultural disconnection toward something fiercer: reclamation. Standing at her parents' table with one week before departing on tour, she asks the question that will change everything-may I wear the red paint of our healers?
