The Elders Are Watching Book born with shimmering brown hair

born with shimmering brown hair the colour of Mother Earth

while anchored in Nootka Sound on the west coast of Vancouver Island

deep water with a knife to free the terrified animal

while the village sleeps

In Braiding Sweetgrass

The Elders Are Watching Book born with shimmering brown hairWhen award winning writer David Bouchard first saw the work of First Nations artist Roy Henry Vickers, he was struck by Vickers' reverence for nature and his understanding of Canada's rugged West Coast. They collaborated on The Elders Are Watching, which now in its fifth printing has delighted more than 100,000 readers in four languages. The artwork in this new edition has been restored to match the vibrancy of the originals.
