Counting in Mi'kmaw / Mawkiljemk Mi’kmawiktuk

One is Ne’wt, for one Turtle Island, made for you and me. Two is Ta’pu, for two women in the sweat lodge steam. Counting from one to ten in English and Mi’kmaw, young readers will be introduced to both the ancestral language of Mi’kmaki and to Mi’kmaw culture and legend, through beautifully rendered illustrations of the natural world, like fish swimming and bees buzzing, and concepts integral to the Mi’kmaw world view, like the Seven (L’luiknek) sacred Mi’kmaw teachings. Features bright and detailed illustrations from celebrated Waycobah-based Mi’kmaw illustrator, Loretta Gould.
