About
Tommy Bird
Lena Adam and Lawrence Adam, Elders from Fond du Lac Denesųłiné First Nation in Saskatchewan, have tanned hides for as long as they can remember and have shared their knowledge at youth and culture camps for more than four decades. Tommy Bird, a member of Peter Ballantyne Cree Nation, has been immersed in traditional Woodland Cree culture since he was a boy, and has trapped, fished, hunted, gathered, and dog mushed for most of his life. Miriam Körner, a writer and illustrator, has collaborated with Elders in her community to create award-winning children’s books that celebrate Woodland Cree culture and lifestyle.
