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.
Six stories connected to the Northwest coast canoe in one volume: Look at What I Found!; Ocean-Going "Fishing" Canoe; Building of a Canoe; Carving of a Canoe; and Herbie & Slim Nellie's First Journey.
Historical note:
The Rocky Mountain Rangers, under Captain Stewart, and the Moose Mountain Scouts, under Captain White, were also put in commission for service during the 1885 Resistance.
