Summary:
Ancient Thunder celebrates wild horses and the natural world in which they lived in harmony.A beautiful and visionary book, Ancient Thundercelebrates wild horses and the natural world of the prairies. Using an extraordinary technique, Leo Yerxa, an artist of Ojibway ancestry, makes paper look like leather, so that his illustrations seem to be painted on leather shirts. Each shirt is accompanied by a rich song of praise for the wild horses that came to play such an important role in the lives of the First Peoples. Years in the making, the book is truly a work of art -one that reflects Yerxa's sense of nature and the place of native people within it.
