This audiobook explores the history and resilience of the Haida people's potlatch tradition, which was banned by the Canadian government in 1884 and later revived in 1969. It highlights how the cultural knowledge was preserved by Elders despite the ban and how the community reclaimed their traditions through significant events like the raising of a totem pole. Written by Sara Florence Davidson, the book reflects on the integration of Haida cultural practices into modern education, inspired by her father's work and the ongoing renewal of her community's heritage.
