Description
Lynda Gray's (Ts'msyen Nation) accessible primer on Indigenous peoples’ past and present is geared towards both non-Indigenous and Indigenous readers. First Nations 101 provides an overview of the day-to-day lives of Indigenous people, traditional Indigenous communities, colonial interventions used in an attempt to assimilate Indigenous people into mainstream society, the impacts those interventions had on Indigenous families and communities, and how Indigenous people are working towards holistic health and wellness today.
The book’s cover art features a 'neełx (killerwhale) created by Lynda's son Phil Gray to represent their clan (Gisbutwada).
