Orca's Song

It is my view that folktales - tales of such quality that people kept the story alive for centuries - are excellent literature for people of any age. Anne Cameron aims her retellings of Northwest Native tales at a young audience but all of us can enjoy all of them.This particular story is poignant - the story of love between an Orca and an Osprey. The tale "explains" the black and white of the Orca, the leaps out of water, and the beautiful songs as the results of this love. Like all Anne Cameron's retelling, this tale is well worth sharing.
