Indigenous Education and Engagement and Library Recommendations for Treaties Recognition Week
“As the day progressed and the sun moved
toward the west it dawned on her that
Mishomis might not have many more
seasons to live. He was sharing his teachings,
parts of the bundle he carried, for her to
bring forward and to share with those who
would come next.
Although the responsibility for these stories
could sometimes feel like a burden, she
understood that they were also a great gift” - Aimee Craft, 2021
Aimee Craft’s Treaty Words is a beautifully written, illustrated and intimate teaching between a Mishomis and his granddaughter. With loving, gentle words, he tells the story of his childhood, about living on the land, and treaty histories and responsibilities: respect, reciprocity, and renewal between all living things. Enjoy learning about treaty rights and relationships through this book intended for all ages and audiences.
