Summary | "Through traditional stories, Grandmothers’ understandings guide and nurture parents and children as they grow together. Dual-language: English and Mi’kmaq. Sali’j is a Mi’kmaw woman. She is strong, she is happy. Happy to be part of a loving family, happy to be Mi’kmaq. She begins to notice changes to her body, subtle at first, then more noticeable. She realizes that she is pregnant. She and her husband rejoice to think of welcoming a child into their lives. She goes to her Mother, to her Grandmother, to her Godmother. She tells them she is pregnant. They hug her in joy. They gather their knowledge and their wisdom from teachings passed down from woman to woman, over the generations; they share this knowledge, little by little, story by story. This is the Mi’kmaw way."-- |
