Written in Swampy Cree and English, this book provides students with an appreciation of the diversity and fragility of the prairie wetland ecosystem. Mr. Carriere describes the bulrushes through the seasons and how the various animals, insects, and birds rely on the bulrushes and ponds for survival. The book demonstrates that traditional First Nations knowledge is parallel to western science.
