The Earth Under Sky Bear's Feet by Joseph Bruchac

The Earth Under Sky Bear's Feet by Joseph Bruchac

A thoughtful collection that eloquently bears out the theme of unity of all creatures. --School Library Journal

Native American elders will tell you there is as much to see in the night as in the familiar light of day, and here Abenaki storyteller and American Book Award recipient Joseph Bruchac offers twelve unforgettable stories of the living earth seen from the sky.

From the Mohawk and Missisquoi peoples of the Northeastern United States to the Pima, Cochiti Pueblo, and Navajo people of the Southwest to the Subarctic Inuit, these pieces reflect an awe and appreciation of the natural world. Locker's deeply hued paintings burst with the beauty of night. --The Horn Book

Bruchac, Joseph: -

Joseph Bruchac is a writer, storyteller, proud Nulhegan Abenaki citizen and respected Elder among his people. He lives in the Adirondack Mountains foothills town of Greenfield Center, New York, in the same house where his maternal grandparents raised him. Much of Joseph's writing draws on that land and his Native American ancestry. Although his northeastern American Indian heritage is only one part of an ethnic background that includes Slovak and English blood, those Native roots are the ones by which he has been most nourished. He works extensively on projects involving the preservation of Abenaki culture, language and traditional Native skills, including performing traditional and contemporary Abenaki music with the Dawnland Singers. Joseph is the author of more than 140 books for children and adults. He discusses Native culture in his books and presents storytelling programs at dozens of elementary and secondary schools each year as a visiting author.
