A Culture of Gratitude

A Culture of Gratitude This poetic history of the Coast Salish peoples adds great understanding of the depth and resilience of the coastal tribal culture. It is a beautifully bound, small book with heart-touching photos of Indian speakers and elders. It is highly acclaimed by academic experts and by tribal leaders and elders. The book is used in college and high school classes as a text reference in cultural history, but its main audience is with tribal and non-tribal people looking for the inspiration of the wisdom of the Pacific Northwest earliest people. People from countries all over the world have this book, and it has been used as a book reference in conferences with world leaders, such as,Nelson Mandela. I recommend it as a beautiful gift book, and one that would be of interest to readers of books, such as, Radical Hope.
