Indigenous Gifts & More

For thousands of years, the Coast Salish woolly dog was a spiritual companion, carefully bred and deeply revered by the people of the Pacific Northwest coast. Their thick, luxurious coats were meticulously shorn and spun together with mountain goat hair to create intricate, culturally significant textiles that told stories of connection, wisdom, and survival.

This woolly friend is wearing a blanket designed by internationally renowned Coast Salish weaver and Musqueam knowledge-keeper Debra Sparrow, whose highly sought-after weavings & designs are cultural undertakings centered on ancestral connection, stewardship, and the reawakening of Coast Salish traditions.

This bundle includes the two titles in the All That You Are series, two finger puppets, and the Strong Nations Yoga Cards.

Anishinaabe teachings share that everything has a Spirit. Illustrate this with the monarch butterfly and eagle finger puppets, pairing them with the books in the All That You Are series to affirm You Are Sacred’s central message, demonstrate how all things are connected, and invite readers to be mindful of the world around them.

Bring these messages of kindness and self-awareness into a simple yoga practice with the Strong Nations Yoga Cards. Follow along with You Are the Land as you “take a deep breath and fill your lungs, then release it nice and slow,” grounding your practice with teachings of the Anishinaabe Medicine Wheel and a focus on the body, mind, and heart. Guide readers to replicate the poses on the Moon, Butterfly, Mountain, and Eagle yoga cards as you encounter each character in the books.

About the All That You Are Series
All That You Are is a series of heartwarming, affirmational picture books from author and illustrator Sarah-Anne Tourond.

Through lyrical text and watercolour illustrations, this series shares the teachings of the Anishinaabe Medicine Wheel to remind children of their connection to the world around them. Each book is inspired by one quadrant of the Medicine Wheel that represents an aspect of wellness—Spiritual, Physical, Emotional, or Mental. A diagram of the Medicine Wheel is included at the back of the books. Anishinaabe Connections are also included to share more about Anishinaabe art, culture, and traditions explored in the text and illustrations.

A percentage of proceeds from this series is donated to the Indian Residential School Survivors Society to support their efforts in advocacy for justice and healing. To find out more information, please visit https://www.irsss.ca/.
