Description: "These powerful and moving photographs portray the Native children of Canada's west coast in their homes and their villages, living and learning in the same settings their forefathers knew. They document a multiplicity of Native cultures, embracing the legacy of a cherished heritage while sharing a common hope for the future. Accompanying the photographs are narratives by ten Native Elders, recalling their own childhoods and expressing their fears and hopes for the new generation. Children of the First People is a timeless book that speaks to the universality of childhood innocence."--Back cover.
