Description
At the dawn of time there were...
...the Gitxsan who uttered the first words, told the first stories and sang the first songs. They gave description and order to the culture and handed it down through the ages. It was woven down from my ancestors to my grandfathers and my teachers. I have learned that if you want to write you need a master with words that connect with you. With their teachings my Gitxsan Elders have touched my soul.
I thank God for the opportunity that I had to walk with them, I thank them for their great knowledge and for the privilege of allowing me to glimpse that knowledge. I thank them for their great inspiration that allowed me to create the 'Breath of our Ancestors.'
