Ancient legends at Xmas ? our gift to you

Page 1

Windspeaker has a special gift for you, our reader, this Christmas.

It's a special Dec. 11 issue filled to the brim with ancient legends from many tribes (Micmac, Haida, Blackfoot, Cree, Inuit, etc.), modern stories, wild meat recipes, herb lore, old ways and information about powerful animals like the bear, wolf and buffalo.

And, to all of you who have sent us your poetry to publish, if you haven't seen it in former issues of Windspeaker, the Dec. 11 issue is where you'll likely find it.

December is Pawastakinases month (Cree for "Little Drifting month"). It truly is the time of year when the cold winds blow the snow into little piles. It's also the time when, in days long past, our people stayed inside to tell wonderful stories and legends by the light of the fire.

This Christmas season we hope you, too, will gather your family around you and read to them some of the stories we've published at this special time of year.

Remember, the Christmas special will be published Dec. 11. Watch for it!
