Summary
In Once Upon a Totem, Christie Harris delves into the rich oral traditions of the Indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest, retelling ancient legends and myths that have been passed down through generations. This beautifully illustrated collection, with evocative woodcut illustrations by John Frazer Mills, brings to life tales of adventure, morality, and the profound connection between humans and nature. The stories are filled with trickster figures, supernatural beings, and the lessons that these narratives teach about survival, respect, and harmony. This timeless anthology is not just a collection of stories but a window into the deep cultural history and heritage of Indigenous North American peoples.
