Synopsis

Key Selling Points

• Each spread showcases the beautiful artwork of 13 different Indigenous illustrators from across North America, highlighting the diversity of Indigenous experience and identity.

• The gentle text acknowledges different languages, territories, appearances, family structures, cultures and traditions, while reassuring the reader that even if they don't know much about their heritage, they are Indigenous.
• Anne Tenning was inspired by a group of young Indigenous students who she asked to share what it meant to them to be Indigenous. The majority expressed a lack of confidence in identifying as an Indigenous person because of how they looked or because they did not know much about their culture. She wrote this book as a way to let them know they should be proud of who they are, regardless of their level of knowledge.
• The author is a member of the Stz'uminus First Nation on Vancouver Island and is of Coast Salish, European and Japanese ancestry.

My Indigeneity is woven into my identity, going all the way back to my ancestors, whose spirit I carry in my heart. I am proud of who I am.
