Christy Jordon-Fenton

Christy Jordan-Fenton is the author of four award-winning books about her Inuvialuk mother (in-law) Margaret Olemaun Pokiak-Fenton and her time attending an Indian Residential School in the high Arctic during the 1940s: FATTY LEGS, A STRANGER AT HOME, WHEN I WAS EIGHT, and NOT MY GIRL. Christy and Margaret travelled internationally sharing her story for over a decade, until Margaret’s passing in 2021 at the age of 84. Some of their greatest adventures together include being a part of five Truth and Reconciliation national events, visiting Cuba and Alaska, and getting tattoos (when Margaret was 81).
