Book Description

The Huron Carol is Canada's oldest and most lovd Christmas Carol. It has been interpreted by many artists over the past four hundred years. This, however, is possibly the first collaboration between the three groups that comprise Canada's Aboriginal peoples: First Nations, Metis and Inuit. Best selling, award winning Metis poet David Bouchard reworks the Carol's lyrics. First Nation artist Moses Beaver's paintings resonate and awaken an awareness that is at once exciting and empowering so that people all over this planet will understand the birth of Christ from an Aboriginal worldview. Susan Aglukark, pride of Canada's north, provides a musical interprettion of this long revered Carol, for the first time in Inuktitut.
