# The Gathering - Hardcover

by **Theresa Meuse** (Author), **Art Stevens** (Illustrator)

Alex is attending her first Mi'kmaw spiritual gathering, or _mawiomi_. Though she is timid at first, older cousin Matthew takes her under his wing. Meeting Elders along the way, they learn about traditional Mi'kmaw culture: the sacred fire, drumming, tanning and moccasin decorating, basket- and canoe-making, and enjoy a Mi'kmaw feast. Most importantly, Alex finds her voice in the talking circle.

With contemporary illustrations by the bestselling illustrator Art Stevens, _The Gathering_ is an inclusive story that will educate and entertain Indigenous and non-Indigenous readers alike.
