Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 3-6. In this photographic essay, 12-year-old Matthew Dunn takes a trip to Fort Chipewyan in Alberta, Canada, to learn about his Chipewyan, Metis, and Cree heritage. His visit to relatives coincides with the community's celebration of Treaty Days, commemorating the 1899 agreement that gave the Chipewyans hunting and fishing rights as well as reservation land. Each year the people gather for games, dances, sports, and feasting. Matthew also learns about traditional ways of fishing and drying fish; making bannock, a quick bread that can be cooked over a campfire; and native beadwork and crafts. The clear, full-color photos support the clearly written text. Although similar to Russell M. Peters's Clambake (Lerner, 1992), this book has a more personal viewpoint because the author, Matthew's mother, includes a preface remembering her own childhood in Fort Chipewyan.?Mollie Bynum, formerly at Chester Valley Elementary School, Anchorage, AK
