This is a book of French poetry written by Éléonore Sioui and published in 1985. The title “Andatha” is a wendat word meaning “where everything comes together.” The general message concerns the universal human spirit and the commonalities between people despite ethnic diversity. There are three main sections that outline the major themes of the book. The first focuses on the Great Spirit or “Grand Esprit,” the second highlights Sioui’s experiences with colonialism and how she has attempted to counter it. Finally, the last section titled “Personnellement Vôtre” or “Personally Yours’” deals with her own identity as an Indigenous woman and mother. Included in this publication are several original sketches done by the author.
