“That, boy, is the real story of the Tetlin Witch. Not as spectacular as the others you've no doubt heard over cups in the lodge. And, of course, the story didn't end there because the Tetlin Witch wasn't the only woman with a mind, with knowledge and skills. Women who refused to fit in, who didn't act the way others thought they should, who embarrassed those in power with their wisdom or knowledge, they, too, were declared to be the Tetlin Witch. And we all know that the Tetlin Witch is evil. In some cases, these unfortunate women were merely driven away, but some - like that original wise woman from a little village named Tetlin - were killed. A lot of woman have suffered -still suffer- for the crime of knowing what others don't, or doing what others can't. Turns out the Tetlin Witch is everywhere, and she -in all her forms - is the real plague.”
