The Best of Chief Dan George by Chief Dan George

This is a must read-aloud to integrate FNIM worldview into Social Studies in Middle Years (and even younger). Chief Dan George's beautiful poems and words will inspire you to reflect on what's important in life: generosity, courage, nature, love. I will definitely purchase this compilation for my LRC in fall.
