Synopsis

✨ A powerful Indigenous children’s story that celebrates culture, identity, and the teachings held within every braid. ✨

Tekahión:ni is a young Mohawk girl with long, shiny hair that flows like a quiet river. One morning, her mother teaches her something she’ll never forget — why Indigenous people braid their hair.

Through gentle storytelling and stunning illustrations, Tekahión:ni learns that her braid is more than hair…
It’s strength,
It’s identity,
It’s connection,
It’s love,
And it’s a reminder that she is never alone.

🌿 Children ages 4–10 will learn:

• The cultural meaning behind braiding

• The teaching of mind, body, and spirit
