Oolichan Moon: Sisters Learn Traditional Foods - Beynon, Samantha

Clean, tight, unmarked; very light wear to bottom back edge of dust jacket; otherwise absolute minimal wear; For longer than anyone can remember, the Nisga'a have harvested oolichan from Lisims - the Nass River. The Nisga'a call it saak, or the saviour fish, because it was the first fish that came in quantity in the new year, just as winter food supplies were running out. With playful text and vibrant illustrations, readers can learn alongside two Nisga'a sisters as they are gifted with sacred knowledge from their Elders, passed down for many generations in the oral tradition. A gorgeous celebration of Nisga'a language, history and culture, Oolichan Moon also includes historical and cultural information about the oolichan and related Nisga'a vocabulary.
