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. Written by the
creators of Potlatch as Pedagogy, this book brings the Sk'ad'a
Principles to life through the art of Janine Gibbons.
