Echoes of the Elders was a New York Times Best Illustrated Book of the Year and won universal acclaim from readers and reviewers alike. Now DK Ink is proud to present a second volume of myths and legends drawn from the oral tradition of the Northwest Coast Indians: Spirit of the Cedar People. Like its predecessor, this handsome volume features tales from the Kwakiutl tribe--the Cedar People--plus striking illustrations by the late Chief Lelooska. A companion audio CD features the voice of the chief reading these powerful stories.
Customer Review: Childhood Memories Come Alive
As a child born and raised not far from Chief Lelooska, reading this book and listening to the CD brought back many happy memories of sitting in the story lodge watching the Chief and his family make these stories come alive. Hearing his voice again and seeing the brilliant drawings in this book made me feel like I was right back there huddled in front of the fire. The drawings are so lifelike you can almost touch the masks and costumes. After reading this book, you will be searching your local art museum for displays of Chief Lelooska's carvings and masks. I would gladly pass this book down as a family heirloom and demonstration of the rich history and art of the Northwest Indians.
Customer Review: lovely volume that captures the essence of the Kwakiutl
I was deeply impressed by this first-class production. The stories are a bit simplistic, perhaps deliberately targeting the younger reader, but they are powerfully narrated by the chief on the enclosed CD. The artwork was breathtaking and contributed to a moving, well-conceived experience in the culture of the Northwest Coast Indian.
