Native Waters : A Few Moments In A Small Wooden Boat
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Here is a world created by Crawfish at the command of the Creator of All Things. These are the lands and waters of the “people of the lake”, always changing, never ending.
Between the gunwales of a small wooden bateau, a boy grows, learns the things that define a life, and sets out on a voyage of discovery in disdain for this watery world, yet returns at last to the sanctuary and peace within it.
It is a story of Native American legacy, Acadian heritage, of wooden boats and fly-fishing; there are ghosts here, thousands of years old, ancient spirits and ancestral creatures.
It is a story as told by water. Water that has flowed through the veins of ancestors for thousands of years. Water that flows into eternity.
