About the Author

Canada’s award-winning author David Bouchard is Métis. The author of over fifty bestselling books, his If You’re Not From the Prairie is on Maclean’s list of the top 20 children’s books in the history of Canada. David was a teacher and a principle for many years before turning to writing. “I grew up in a white, Catholic society knowing nothing of my Métis roots. Recently a force has drawn me (pushed is perhaps more telling) to explore my own Native bloodlines. This journey, the ideas, the contacts and the passion are all inspired by my grandmother, my teacher, my Nokum!”
Andy Everson was given the hereditary name Nagedzi after his grandfather, the late chief of the Comox, Andy Frank. Driven by the passion of traditional knowledge handed to him from his Grandmother, Andy has pursued a life steeped in culture. He has successfully taken the ancient art forms of the Kwakwaka’wakw into the contemporary art market to demonstrate that his people’s culture is vibrant, alive and powerful.
