Overview
A beautifully illustrated reimagining of the origins of hockey from an Indigenous lens.
Killer Whale and Brown Bear are arguing: Brown Bear says he can beat Killer Whale at any challenge, yet Killer Whale disagrees. When Powerful Mena overhears their bickering, he comes up with a solution: a game on the ice, played with sticks, nets, and a star for a puck. But who will win and earn the trophy?
For kids aged 4-8, The Game features:
- An introduction to Musqueam language and culture
- Beautiful watercolor artwork from a celebrated Haida artist
- Detailed backmatter and a pronunciation guide
With poetic text by gifted Indigenous storyteller Henry Charles (Ten Bears), an elder of the Musqueam First Nation, and breathtaking illustrations by Haida artist, Shoshannah Greene, The Game offers a vibrant introduction to Musqueam language and culture and inspires readers to rediscover a sport we know and love.
