The accompanying artwork is an excellent representation of traditional images of the Pacific Northwest. A really great book for a classroom to use, especially here in the NW since it pertains to the history ad culture of where we live. The CD is a nice addition, and helps to showcase the oral tradition of Native American story telling. This is a collection of Northwest Native American tales. There are five stories in the collection that highlight the traditional way of live for NW natives. The stories were oral tales that were passed on for generations. This collection is the first time someone has formally written them. They show the importance of the natural world as well as cooperation. Summary: This book is comprised of five tales from Chief Lelooska of the Northwest Coast Tribe he was in. He says that these were stories he would tell his people around a campfire as part of a old tradition. The one that I like d the most was about a raven with powers to heal. There was also and Owl that was a Witch and had the human-like powers. A lot of the animals told in the story are animals that these Native Americans cherish. Genre: Mythology/ Traditional Literature Review: I always enjoy myths about animals given supernatural powers, so I really enjoyed this book. I love how the Chief himself not only wrote, but also illustrated these myths. He is definitely a fantastic storyteller. This would be a great book to bring into the classroom when teaching students about Native Americans and their culture. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
