Hungry Wolf of the Blood Tribe
Beverly Hungry Wolf, author of "The Ways of My Grandmothers", is a member of the Blood Tribe of the Blackfoot people. Her traditional home in southern Alberta is just under Chief Mountain on land chosen by Chief Red Crow. Beverly and her family discuss the significance of beaver bundles for their people's healing and spiritual traditions, the importance of learning one's history, and their community's renewed interest in their ancestors' way of life.
A Family Tree Narrative portrays six families of Canada's First Nations through the oral traditions of storytelling. Celebrating their ancestry as far back as the stories go, they share the relationships that have given them strength, pride and love throughout the years. Through an exploration of each family's legacy, the stories weave hope and challenge, loss and triumph in the lives of the First People of this land.
