An educational and heartfelt retelling of the story of the Mi'kmaq and their traditional lands, Mi'kma'ki, for young readers, focused on the generational traumas of the Indian Residential School System."The story of the Mi'kmaw people is one that very few truly know, Ladybug. Even fewer understand what happened at the residential schools. It is a hard story to tell, but you must know the truth. Sit and I will tell you the story."When seven-year-old Muinji'j comes home from school one day, her Nana and Papa can tell right away that she's upset. Her teacher has been speaking about the residential schools. Unlike most of her fellow students, Muinji'j has always known about the residential schools. But what she doesn't understand is why the schools existed and why children would have died there. Nana and Papa take Muinji'j aside and tell her the whole story, from the beginning. They help her understand all of the decisions that were made for the Mi'kmaq, not with the Mi'kmaq, and how those decisions hurt her people. They tell her the story of her people before their traditional ways were made illegal, before they were separated and sent to reservations, before their words, their beliefs, and eventually, their children, were taken from them. A poignant, honest, and necessary book featuring brilliant artwork from Mi'kmaw artist Zeta Paul and words inspired by Muinji'j MacEachern's true story, Muinji'j Asks Why will inspire conversation, understanding, and allyship for readers of all ages.

This is not a history book. It is a collection of stories, based on research conducted at the National Library of Jamaica and the former Taino Museum at Whitemarl in the parish of St. Catherine, where a Taino village once existed, and my imagination The stories describe life in a Jamaican Taino village some 500 years ago, through the eyes of a ten year old Taino boy, living in the period of the Spanish invasion of Jamaica, which took place between 1492 and 1494. We hope your children will enjoy reading this book. More importantly, we hope you will read them with your children, particularly if you have little ones younger than eight. We hope you will supplement The Adventures of Luka The Taino Boy with stories of your own childhood in Jamaica, as together we strive to imbue our children with a sense of being rooted in the rich and vibrant culture of a people who have overcome significant challenges and prevailed.
