Berry Song

Michaela Goade

On an island beside a wide sea, a Tlingit grandmother teaches her granddaughter how to live with the land. Together they gather herring eggs, seaweed, salmon, and forest berries through the seasons. Their journey includes songs of gratitude for the ocean, forest, and land that sustain them, as well as answers to the voices of their ancestors in song and Native language. A rhythmic list of berries appears alongside the main narrative.
