Anywhere stories

Summary: By the author of the very successful Anytime Stories, this new collection of short stories is drawn from many tribes, customs and ceremonies of the North American Indian. The purpose of her stories is to heighten our consciousness of how they are told; to do this, she shows us their origins, their applications and how audiences might relate to them. The stories also provide us with objects of symbolism to ignite our imaginations, including an origami orb, a mystic warrior's shield, papier-mâche masks of endangered species, a medicine wheel, reports and observations on plants, and our relationship with the Earth. Richly illustrated by Winnipeg artist Leo Neilson (from the Golden Gates of St. Peter's Reserve, where he is known as 'Sweet Pea'), the stories challenge us to retell them for both our own personal growth and our own discovery of how we feel about the environment.
