Squamish people of the sunset coast / by Barbara Wyss ; color illustrations by T'uy Tanat (Cease Wyss)
"Squamish People of the Sunset Coast is like taking a walk with Granny Barb. The story is a combination of many sources and weaves some of the history of the Squamish people as well as two tales from their cultural traditions. The Two Sisters tells the story of the daughters of a great chief who brings peace to long warring enemies. Their reward is to be remembered forever as two mountains known as the Two Sisters. Mink and His Brother tells the tale of the escape of two mischievous minks who get swallowed by a whale." (John Dryden, http://www.umanitoba.ca/cm/vol13/no2/squamishpeopleofthesunsetcoast.html). The story shifts rather abruptly between a retelling of the history of the Squamish people to some myths and stories, which may be confusing for some learners if read as a whole. It is written at a grade 2 level.
