Description
Wanting to belong can be hard, and walking away can be even harder.
When a storm plucks four eaglets from their nest to the forest floor, the displaced eaglets proceed on a journey across Turtle Island to rediscover where they belong. One by one, the eaglets encounter communities of creatures who claim them. Will these lost eaglets grow the courage needed to soar in their truths?
Inspired by the Students and Communities she has worked with, Nishinaabe author Karen Whetung shares an allegory of survivance and the desire to tell our stories, share our truths, and claim our place in the world in Four Fallen Eagles.
