My New Orleans 05/11/2021   Pamela Ann Marquis, fierce and loving mother, adventurous and playful Gigi, hilarious and devoted friend, and versatile Jill of all trades, died suddenly May 4, 2021, in New Orleans. She was 68. She was born on Sept. 3, 1952, in Evanston, Ill., to Robert and Dorothy Marquis. Her life took her from Milwaukee to Griffin, Ga., where she was a spirited high school cheerleader (although she probably would’ve rather played quarterback) and then on to St. Augustine, Fla....

Her father, her grandmother, great-grandfather and great-great-grandfather all had full status and its accompanying benefits under the Indian Act of 1876.

Hutley, a 64-year-old non-status Mohawk woman, has been fighting since 1999 to have her family heritage a...

My New Orleans 01/26/2021   One of the last happy memories I have of The Before Times was hitting all the parades with my older daughter, Ruby, a true Carnival die-hard. This kid attended her first parade at 9 weeks old (that may have been a mistake, in retrospect, but I was a homesick young first-time mom, so …) and has never missed a season since we officially moved home when she was 12.5 months old. I’m not the biggest Carnival fan, if I’m being honest, but I also am not wild about Ch...
