Two Whale Stories

Roberts, Mildred (author.). Austin, Biilts'ik Colleen, (editor, publisher.). Hill, Anne, (editor.). Wesley, Paula, (illustrator.). Roberts, Don T., (author.).

Summary: "About this Book: This story was told to us by my grandmother Rebecca Bolton, about the encounter she and my grandfather, Mark Bolton, had with the killer whale. Then, years later, my son Don Roberts ran into a killer whale again, and we put the stories together. Things happen years ago, then something else happens years later and somehow there's a connection, just like how people can connect with ancestors from years back. The stories show ways that people can connect with their ancestors - one story from the recent times, and the other from years before. The stories are important because they really happened and were told by the people they happened to. Both sotries show how killer whales can react to kindness that you show them. Killerwhale (Blackfish) is our crest, so that makes it extra important. -Mildred Roberts, Author" Back cover.
