Songhees : gai? ata ?ey? šqal'o'wen = Songhees : to work with good mind, good feelings

Songhees First Nation. (issuing body.).

Summary: "This book is not only about the Songhees, it is by the Songhees, and their perspective is presented here for the first time. Through their lens we examine who the Songhees were, who they are and where they're going. Presenting a worldview that differs fundamentally from a traditional Western outlook, this book offers a unique window into Songhees ways and values while celebrating their innate spirit of pride and hope. This book and the inspirational Songhees Wellness Centre are a testament to the Songhees people, their connections to their ancestors and commitment to future generations." --book jacket
