| Description: | The Gabriel Dumont Institute is pleased to announce the forthcoming publication of Leah Dorion’s children’s book, "The Great Giving Tree: A Traditional Métis Story of Giving and Receiving." This charming story, steeped in Métis culture, focuses on the boyhood reminisces of Mushoom as he describes finding the “great giving tree” with his mother and father. This vibrantly illustrated children’s book is a beautiful retelling of a traditional Métis story. Both Leah and the Gabriel Dumont Institute are very happy to share this story with the Métis and larger communities since it emphasizes Métis core values and beliefs including strength, kindness, courage, tolerance, honesty, respect, love, sharing, caring, balance, patience, and most of all the important connection with the Creator and Mother Earth. This resource will also include Métis values charts, a glossary and an accompanying narration CD in English and Michif.
The Great Giving Tree will be released by the Gabriel Dumont Institute in the early fall 2009. Price: $12.95 Book / English/Michif CD ISBN: 978-0-920915-90-5 |
