Description
The Adventures of Grey-Dawn is the first in a series of books that brings the knowledge and wisdom of ancient native legends into a new era with renewed life. Metis legends come alive in this tale of courage and perseverance. Grey-Dawn--an outcast from his people because of his eye colour--and his friends Eagle, Moose and Owl make the journey to the centre of the island in search of the Spirit of the Flame. Along the way there are many barriers to overcome. Raven, Coyote and Fox try to trick Grey-Dawn into giving up his quest to become the flame-keeper. Royalties from the sales of this series of books will go toward assisting in the completion of Shamanic Park, a wildlife sanctuary and interpretive centre in Salmo, BC.
Contributor Notes
"The Ghostwriter" chose his pseudonym to focus attention more on the content and purpose of the books than personal gratification. Born in the Haida Gwaii realm, he was raised by his grandparents--not far from the Golden Spruce--until he was six years old. His father, a Native American, was born in Ohio and died when the author was just two years old. His mother was a Metis who was born in Cowley, Alberta.
