Her story is based on real life experiences, spiritualism taught from her Elders from her Indigenous community in British Columbia. Her Grandmother’s teach her about the cultural practices, beliefs and spiritualism as told by Creator to ancestors. These stories are passed on. My Granddaughter is inspired by the cultural teachings as she is Cree from Alberta and Shuswap from British Columbia. Her family dog is part of her story along with her spirit animals, the bear, the eagle and the wolf. She talks with the spirits and in her dreams the Creator of mother earth speaks to her. When her dog goes missing, it is her test to call upon the creator for answers, wisdom and knowledge, and to visit the spirit animals who live in the secret place she calls paradise in the mountain caves. The age group is 10 to 16. I am in process of obtaining estimates for printing this 10 page story which includes illustrations . If i knew of funders to help this story be published for libraries etc. we (Luckystar and myself Grandmother Marilyn) would be honored to receive your help and advice. The cost for ;printing in Edmonton Alberta Canada is: Canadian dollars is $ 8,268.00. . Hope to hear from you.
