Abstract

"This simple story in Cree and English explores a young child's relationship to his grandmother, or nôhkom, as they go for a walk in the woods to pick rosehips. The young boy follows his grandmother--walking listening, praying, picking and eating--absorbing the rich cultural traditions and values of his Cree heritage. Caitlin Dale Nicholson's story has been translated into Cree by Leona Morin-Neilson, who was also its inspiration. Caitlin Dale Nicholson's acrylic-on-canvas illustrations portray the close relationship between the boy and his grandmother and the natural beauty of the bush. Her text has been translated into Cree by Leona Morin-Neilson, who was also the inspiration for niwîcihâw / I Help. Formerly titled Niwechihaw / I Help, this revised edition features updated text, including Cree syllabics in addition to standard roman orthography and English"--WorldCat.org.
