Title:
Canoe kids. Volume 1, The Ojibwe of Great Spirit Island
Summary:
Canoe Kids is an authentic exploration of Indigenous Cultures. Each volume focuses on one culture. We embed ourselves within the community and experience the culture, land spirituality, food, music, art, dance, harvesting and learn to live well and properly with Mother Earth. We explore the historical and connect to the present through interviews and pictures. Our publication has been compared to a cross between National Geographic and Time Magazine. Each volume includes an entire section of the vessel of the culture. In volume 1 we learn about the Ojibwa Nation, we review the history of the birch bark canoe and then record the building and launching of a traditional canoe. Each volume has an ancient story, (many of which have never been in print before) Each volume has teachings about food, harvesting and living well with the land and each other. There is also a kids zone and an art zone and recipes too. Each volume is approximately 140 pages long.
