With the help of his father and grandfather, a boy on Haida Gwaii practises to become a skillful carver. As he carefully works on a new piece, he remembers a trip to Slatechuck Mountain to gather the argillite, as well as his father's words about the importance of looking back to help us find our way.Written by the creators of Potlatch as Pedagogy, this book brings the Skada Principles to life through the art of Janine Gibbons.
