Summer 2024 Wilderness Book Club Pick

Bull Trout’s Gift

by The Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes

With kids home from school for the summer, we wanted to feature a children’s book for our next Wilderness Book Club pick. Bull Trout’s Gift is a story about the gifts we receive from our rivers and the communities of life they support. It is also a story about reciprocity, about respecting these gifts and acknowledging them by giving something of value in return. Beautifully illustrated and narrated in the tradition of the Salish and Kootenai Tribes, this account of conservation as the legacy of one generation to the next is about being good to the land that has been good to us. Bull Trout’s Gift is steeped in the culture, history, and science that our children must know if they hope to transform past wisdom into future good.

Bull Trout’s Gift is available in print or free online courtesy of the CSK Tribes.
