Featured Book: Treaty Words: For as Long as the Rivers Flow by Aimee Craft

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.
