Johnston, Basil 1929- (author.). Nadjiwon, Adrian, 1967- (illustrator.). Akiwenzie-Damm, Kateri, 1965- (editor.).

Summary: Before books there was the land. It taught our ancestors what they needed to know in order to survive, it challenged our ancestors to use what they had learned to edify their spirits, souls, hears and mind. What they learned was revelation. The land is one of our first teachers and as abiding as the rocks. If all the books were to be destroyed by fire or rain or insects, there would still be the land to show us what we need to know to pick up the trail. -- Review from back of books.
