Description
Dreamfast, A Trail of Stories to Lead You Home, by Elizabeth Doxtater is a call to Action #95 to create a time for the children and (now) adults who were taken away from communities as children to be welcomed home, so they know they were missed and know that when they return home, they will be loved and protected. Dreamfast is a collection of short stories - a dreamfast-repatriation strategy – to say welcome home. Each story and the accompanying images is part of a connecting land bridge for those children (now) adults who seek to come home. Stories include Thanksgiving Address, Where the Smoke Rises, Nu-Yah, No Face, Strawberries, Uncle Louie’s Alarm Clock, Women and Wheelbarrows, Eclipse, Elderberry Jam, Planting Time, Two Row Wampum Treaty Belt, What They Couldn’t Take, Bread and Cheese, Trees, Second Hay, Haldimand Deed, Practicing Peace, Six Nations, Overnighters, Clans, Fields That Continue, Sally During the War, Hunting, Tobacco Farms, Mush Hole, Thunder Boy, Tecumseh’s Victory Dance, and Closing Address. There is an appendix Standing Quiver, Dreamfaster’s Words and Notes to Save Your Stories.
