Summary
In defiance of an 1885 Canadian law, the Aboriginal people held their traditional ceremonials in secrecy, risking prison and the removal not only of their masks and cultural artifacts but also of their children. Based on the experience of Scow's… grandfather (who went to prison for his defiance), this book tells the tale from the perspective of eight-year-old Watl'kina, who steals out at night to watch the masked dancers at a secret Potlatch. Grades K-3 and older readers. 2006.
