Nootka Sound in Harmony: Aboriginal Connections |
To coincide with the 2019 Year of Indigenous Languages, we have released NOOTKA SOUND IN HARMONY: Aboriginal Connections. We are grateful for the support and permissions of the Cultural Resource Centre committee and Chief Jerry Jack of the Mowachaht/Muchalahat First Nation in Tsaxana, BC. Metis author, Spencer Sheehan-Kalina, uses poetry to highlight the beauty of the Nootka Sound and the animals that live there, with Aboriginal connections to the poem's content. Learn all about the traditional harvesting of the land plants and sea life by Nootka Sound's Indigenous people the Mowachaht/Muchalaht.
In addition, young readers will learn the Indigenous words of the animals that live in the Nootka Sound area. The Aboriginal connections in this children's book aligns with the BC curricular competencies of kindergarten to grade 3. The stunning illustrations are done by Vancouver Island artist, Kim Nixon.
