Abstract
Helen's quilt in Thomas King's novel Truth and Bright Water tells the story of her personal metamorphosis and, as such, can be viewed as an autobiographical, social, and political text. This essay illustrates how, through quiltmaking, Helen finds discrete parts of herself and emerges from erasure as an indigenous woman.
