When unnamed others came to the island, they brought sorrow, replacing totems with crosses and taking the grandchildren away to schools, separating them from their sacred teachings and connections.\r\nThis book is a reminder that near or far, the land is part of who we are. Tumuxw, Mother Earth, will stay the same, strong and unbroken, and no matter how hard others may try to take her children away, she will tend to them again. She will help them remember who they are, despite what the others may have convinced them to be.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Courtney Defriend (CA)","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback Trade paperback (US)","offer_id":51603197296938,"sku":"9781778540981","price":17.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0112\/1065\/3760\/files\/BNCImageAPI_a05618ae-0ccc-40fa-9977-77464eb6bf44.jpg?v=1780013768","url":"https:\/\/onceuponabookstore.ca\/products\/9781778540981","provider":"Once Upon a Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
