Sinossi
A is for Aboriginal is the first in the First Nations Reader Series. Each letter explores a name, a place or facet of Aboriginal history and culture.
The reader will discover some interesting bits of history and tradition that are not widely known. Many, for example. do not know that Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin (two of the American Founding Fathers) both attribute the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) Confederacy, one of the world's oldest democracies, as the inspiration for the American Constitution. Or, that the origin of 'Red Indian' is not because of skin colour, but from the ochre (iron oxide) used by the now extinct Beothuk to colour their skin red.
At the bottom of each letter there is a list of Indigenous peoples that begin with that letter. The idea is that the names can be recited as a sort of poem of remembrance. There is a glossary of all of the indigenous peoples named in the book. The glossary although extensive is not a definitive list of indigenous people. The main focus is on North America but there are some indigenous people listed from every continent to give a global sense of the expanse and depth of the Aboriginal story.
This book celebrates Aboriginal heritage and culture. The illustration for the book title depicts the creation story that tells of the world coming into being on the back of a turtle. North America is often referred to as Turtle Island.

Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fine. Heard Mr., Brendan (illustratore). No statement of printing or edition. 4to glossy pictorial hardbound. This title was supposedly first published in 2013. The year 2016 is printed by the publisher on the title page and no other information. Presentation inscription written by author on the ffep. A lovely book with colorful, well-drawn illustrations. I personally like the S for Sasquatch. Unpaginated, the second half of the book gives an extensive listing and description of Indian tribes in North America. It's in very small print, so there is a great deal of information. Surprisingly scrarce signed. Inscribed by Author(s). Codice articolo 2507032
