Little Girl with Crooked Bangs
How many of us can remember a time when we got a bad haircut? That was true for the Little Girl with Crooked Bangs, who takes you on a journey of her life. The blood bond of family leaves a blueprint to follow. As a child sitting close to Daddy, she hears tales of her brave ancestors crossing the Atlantic in search of a better life. She watches as her grandpa and his sons become the leading milk producer and delivery business in the area. She is nurtured by a strong mother during the Women's Movement of the sixties.

Out of Concealment
"Out of Concealment presents the origin stories of the Haida Nation through the vibrant depiction of its female supernatural beings. Passed on from generation to generation through oral tradition, these stories are important historical narratives that illustrate the Haida's values, customs, rituals, and relationships with the earthly and metaphysical realms. This book features over thirty full-colour surreal photo collages by Haida artist, performer, and activist Terri-Lynn Williams-Davidson. Each image is accompanied by insightful, reflective text describing the being's place in Haida mythology. Out of Concealment encourages readers to see the feminine in the powerful land and seascapes of Haida Gwaii, through a worldview where the environment is worthy of respect, not to be dominated or exploited."--
