These multilingual field guide cards feature 23 common plant and animal species of the saltwater beaches of the Pacific Northwest, with photos, key characteristics, and fun facts, as well as resources for tending the ecosystem health of shorelines, and sources for further reading. Names for each plant and animal appear in English, Latin, Klallam, Northern Lushootseed, and Southern Lushootseed.

This card set is part of the Tend, Gather & Grow Indigenous ecology curriculum, with a particular focus on saltwater beaches as Cultural Ecosystems. The cards are super durable—fully waterproof and washable, great for outdoor use. Full color, 4.25 x 5.5 inches, double sided, 27 cards in all, bound with a metal ring for easy portability in the field.

Native Peoples have harvested saltwater beach species for food, medicine, and technologies for thousands of years, and they have cared for these beaches in return. This practice continues and is being revitalized today. We hope these cards help you to understand and develop a relationship with saltwater beach ecosystems!

Contemporary Recipes, Traditional Ingredients

From the preface:

“Cooking and eating are at the core of maintaining good health. With so many options available in supermarkets, buying groceries that contribute to your health and well-being can be daunting and overwhelming. This book supports you by presenting a culturally relevant nutrition guide, as well as an overview of foods that originate from Turtle Island and are available in your local grocery stores and online marketplaces. Savor these recipes that support an approach to menu planning inspired by the first foods.”

This lively cookbook brings traditional ingredients and a healthful approach into contemporary home kitchens. Originally developed by a Native chef and a Native nutritionist for Pacific Northwest tribal communities and health organizations, this is a cookbook that sparkles with life and wellbeing, and is now expanded to include Southwestern recipes as well.

Heritage edition: ISBN 978-1-63398-136-2, sewn paperback, $28

We are pleased to offer two different editions of this book — an edition written in Haida and an edition written in English. Please select which edition you would like at checkout.

Kúndlaan, The Wolf Pup with Moonlight in Her Eyes by Sondra Segundo

Indigenous author and illustrator Sondra Segundo brings us Kúndlaan, the first of three children’s books in a series that celebrates Haida culture and language. Kúndlaan tells the story of a wolf pup who takes an exciting trip to the moon!

Inspired by ancient Haida stories, each original tale in the series weaves in Haida language and song to help encourage the revitalization of her Indigenous culture.

Kúndlaan is among first children’s books to ever be published entirely in Alaskan Haida, a critically endangered language. For thousands of years the Haida language was passed down exclusively through song and oral tradition. Recently, a Haida alphabet was developed, making this book possible.

"It's very important to me to help preserve our culture in any way I can," Segundo said.
