Description
Delve into the uplifting stories of the people of Mi’kma’ki in this full-colour illustrated book. Meet a devoted water protector, learn about a teen determined to shed light on the tragic history of Residential Schools, and discover poets who use words to explore and champion the rich Mi’kmaw culture. From Grand Chief Gabriele Sylliboy and Elder Dorene Bernard to Rebecca Thomas and Landyn Toney, all of these amazing people call Mi’kma’ki (a territory that includes New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, and parts of Newfoundland, Quebec, and Maine) home.
With dozens of profiles featuring artists, athletes, entrepreneurs, scientists, and more—both historical and present-day, from kids to Elders—Julie Pellissier-Lush and Robin Grant celebrate the many brilliant achievements of the Mi’kmaq.
Includes original colour illustrations by James Bentley, informative sidebars, a map of Mi’kmaw territories, a history of Mi’kma’ki , an index, and a glossary.

I read this book for free from NetGalley in exchange for a fair and honest review. All thoughts are my own.
I was very excited to see this title as a possibility to read on NetGalley. I am on my own personal journey of Reconciliation, and so being able to read the stories of these amazing Indigenous Canadians from the Atlantic provinces was amazing. The stories are very well written, and full of detail. The language is beautifully written in a way that upper elementary students and junior high students could easily comprehend and learn. I look forward to buying a paper copy when it is released to add to my permanent collection. Thank you!
