CANADIAN ABORIGINAL BOOKS FOR SCHOOLS 2015–2016 CATALOGUE 5 CR OSS-GR ADES TAAN’S MOONS Alison Gear Kiki van der Heiden with the Children of Haida Gwaii, illus. Inspired by Haida moon stories, Gear has created a beautiful book celebrating twelve special moons as experienced by Taan the Bear. Evocative quatrains accompany the stunning felted artwork. Artist van der Heiden worked with kindergarten and primary children in Haida Gwaii schools to create the multi-coloured felt fabric and design the illustrations for each page. Although deeply immersed in Haida culture, this is a book for all children. Colour photographs of the children working with the felting process and a foreword by noted author Richard Van Camp round out the presentation of this special book. Both Skidegate and Masset Haida dialect transla- tions for each moon name are provided. A full written transla- tion and audio recording in Skidegate dialect is available.

Martha Brooks Leticia Ruifernández, illus. Little Rabbit is fascinated by the picture of the rabbit in the moon. He sings in a choir that is learning the Winter Moon Song and he longs to know the story behind it. His mother eventu- ally tells him and Little Rabbit thinks about it as he sings. The candlelight performance is beautiful but for Little Rabbit it was not “a magical path light- ing the darkest month,” as his mother had said. As everyone leaves no one seems to notice the winter moon hanging above them. Little Rabbit gazes at the moon and starts to sing all by himself. Soon the elders and other rabbits join in. As everyone sings under the moon a feeling of belonging develops and a new tradition is begun. Variations of the Moon Rabbit story exist in many cultures but well-known novelist Martha Brooks has given it her own interpretation.

Stories are told of being provided with deer meat by a Chilcotin chief after a difficult journey, of being helped by Natives to rebuild a burned down home, and of being welcomed into the Nisga’a chief’s home to teach the chil- dren in their own community. The interdependence is clear as First Nations people tried to get one of the first Europeans at Shuswap Lake to build and operate a store in their com- munity and in another as an immigrant paid a local Native man to show him the best ranch to buy. Three CDs of the stories are included.

TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION E. Pauline Johnson Anne-Marie Comte, photog. Pauline Johnson, a poet, writer, and performer, was the daughter of a Mohawk Chief and an English mother. Born during the Victorian era, she made considerable contributions as an Aboriginal artist as well as to our Canadian identity. This book retells stories told to Johnson by Chief Joe Capilano of the Squamish people. Each legend begins and ends with Johnson's impressions about the story. The legends touch on a variety of themes: the origin of story, survival, rules of living, and colonization, each reveal- ing distinct beliefs and lessons. They also explain the origins of Vancouver landmarks such as The Lions, Deer Lake, and Siwash Rock.

A message of respect and care of our marine environment is at the core of this magnificently illustrated picture book. Four fisherman set off from their village, Kitkatla, in search of seaweed and sockeye salmon. Their disrespectful behaviour at sea awakens the Orca Chief who summons the men to his underwater home. Fearing revenge the men beg for forgiveness. The Chief shows compassion by teaching them how to sustainably harvest the ocean’s resources. Twenty colour illustrations combine images of nature and Aboriginal symbol- ism. An accompanying website features an audio recording of the author narrating this story.

THE ART OF TS’UTS’UMUTL LUKE MARSTON Suzanne Fournier Shore to Shore uses the epony- mous 14-foot bronze-cast cedar sculpture erected in Stanley Park, Vancouver, to research and narrate Ts’uts’umutl Luke Marston’s career as an artist and his exploration of ances- tral roots on Reid Island, BC, and on Pico in the Portuguese Azores. This account of how the sculpture was created is also a tribute to the ancestors. The inclusion of a brief history and impressions of the look and feel of the Azores where Portuguese Joe Silvey was born balances the ancestral grouping. Colour photographs illustrate the process of creating the sculp- media including wood carving and jewelry making. This book provides a history of 19th and 20th century contacts between settlers and original inhabitants and the importance of the artis- tic traditions of Coast Salish art.

Richard Van Camp K. Mateus, illus. Van Camp’s debut graphic novel in the Debwe Series features the healing powers of restorative justice. Three young Native men’s anger at their community manifests into violence and stealing. After being arrested, they are sent for nine months to live off the land. Elders teach them how to live in a respect- ful relationship with the land, their provider and best teacher. This relationship helps define everyone’s character and values: respect, humility, caring, and sharing. They learn how fire is medicine representing a living force that must never go out and how every child is born with a special gift and talent to discover and share with the community. “For the first time these men feel the heartbeat of the land…and hear the whispers of their ancestors.” They find their gifts and their voices but is the community ready to listen? Caution: Includes some graphic violence.
