Description

Written by Sara Florence Davidson, a Haida/Settler, and Robert Davidson, a Northwest Coast native of Haida descent. Illustrated by Janine Gibbons, a Haida Raven of the Double-Fin Killer Whale Clan, Brown Bear House, and a multi-disciplinary artist and award-winning illustrator.

Based on author Sara Florence Davidson’s childhood memories, this illustrated story captures the joy and adventure of a Haida fish camp.

Every summer, a Haida girl and her family travel up the Yakoun River on Haida Gwaii, following the salmon. While their father fishes, the girl and her brother spend their time on the land playing and learning from Tsinii (Grandfather). Full colour illustrations throughout.

Sk'ad'a Stories Series Book # 3. Jigging for Halibut With Tsinii and Learning to Carve Argillite are the other two books in this series. Book #4, Dancing With Our Ancestors is now available.
