Review Quote

5 out of 5 stars

While the reading level of Siha Tooskin Knows the Gifts of His People is designed for elementary students, the content is perfect for K-8. It talks about the struggle Siha Tooskin faces in appreciating and understanding his culture...with the inclusion of a few words in the Nakota language. Overall I think this is a worthwhile book for any classroom or home library.

Review Quote

Reconciliation is a big word, and it is a big job. Authors Wilson and Charlene Bearhead show us that even storybook characters can help when they are brought alive in authentic cultural settings. Meet Paul Wahasaypa, also known as Siha Tooskin or Little Foot, as he dances his way through these colourful pages, sharing some of the things he loves most with his new, non-Indigenous friend Jeff…his culture, his powwow dances, and even his beloved Uncle Lenard with all his teachings and teasing! More than an adventure between new friends, this is a colourful, youth-friendly, cultural exchange based on kindness, respect, and willingness to share and to learn.

This is much-needed representation in children's books and it does a great job of dispelling myths about Native American culture and teaching some history...I plan to check out other books in the series with my kids.

#SihaTooskinKnows…, with its words and illustrations, is a love letter to our family, culture, resilience, and pride.

This is an easy book to make children think about their surroundings [and] it would be excellent for kindergarten teachers to plan their teachings.
