Les contes de la tortue
Through eleven captivating tales, these story hours take us on a journey alongside legendary figures such as Tchikabesh, the Atikamekw child whose face adorns the moon; Pieshish, the Eeyou musician who ventures to the heart of the Earth; and Tortoise, the most cunning of the Wendat animals. From the Inuk’s tale of the origin of fog to the story of the seven Kanien’kehà:ka dancers who became stars, each story reveals the profound connections that bind humans to nature and the cosmos. These legends remind us of the importance of respecting Mother Earth and the richness of ancestral languages.
