In this tender picture book, Sara Florence Davidson transports
readers to the excitement of a potlatch in Hydaburg, Alaska—her
last memory of dancing with her late brother.
It feels like my brother and I have always known how to sing
the songs and dance the dances of our Haida ancestors. Unlike
our father, we were born after the laws that banned our
cultural practices were changed. The potlatch ban did not exist
during our time, so we grew up dancing and singing side by
side.
The invitations have been sent. The food has been prepared. The
decorations have been hung. And now the day of the potlatch has
finally arrived! Guests from all over come to witness this
bittersweet but joyful celebration of Haida culture and
community.Book, 40 pages.
