Originally published: 1948.
Looks at traditional childbirth practices of the Vuntut Gwitchin, Trondëk Hwëch’in, and Na-Cho Nyak Dun First Nations.
Primary source for titles was Amazon Best Sellers in Children’s Native Canadian Story Books, as well as publishers' web pages, and library and authors' lists. Objective was to identify fiction books for ages 0-18 written by Indigenous authors that contained reconciliation-related themes. More than 150 books met the inclusion criteria.
Examines a collaboration between the Walpole Island First Nation and the neighboring Wallaceburg District Secondary School to improve the education of Indigenous students and what can be learned to address persistent educational issues for Indigenous populations nationwide.
