Celebrate the bonds of family and community through a trilingual journey into the heart of Plains Cree culture.
Understanding who we are starts with the people around us. In Discovering People, acclaimed Cree artist and educator Neepin Auger introduces young readers (ages 6-8) to the essential roles that define our lives--from immediate family to the wider community. By presenting these roles in English, French, and Plains Cree, this book offers a powerful tool for cultural empathy and linguistic preservation.
Through Auger's distinct and colorful illustrations, children are invited to explore social concepts and kinship in a way that is both engaging and deeply respectful of Indigenous traditions. To support learners and educators alike, every term includes a clear pronunciation guide, making it possible for anyone to begin speaking Plains Cree with confidence.
Whether utilized in a classroom to support Indigenous studies or shared at home to broaden a child's worldview, Discovering People is a foundational text. It goes beyond simple vocabulary, fostering a sense of connection and belonging within the diverse tapestry of North American life.
