• Summary:"In Spirit Bear: Fishing for Knowledge, Catching Dreams, Spirit Bear continues his work as a Bearrister, learning about injustice and helping to make things right. In this adventure, he learns about the history of First Nations children’s education and how the government continues to discriminate against First Nations children by underfunding their education and other essential services. From his Uncle Huckleberry, he discovers how First Nations children learned from their Elders on the land, while his new friend Lak’insxw teaches him about Residential Schools and their impact on Indigenous communities. Spirit Bear then heads to Algonquin territory where he learns from new friends about a young hero named Shannen Koostachin, and how to take action to help her dream, Shannen’s Dream, for safe and comfy schools for all First Nations children come true." -- From publisher (FNCaringSociety.org) Learning Guide.
