N1  - The traditional territory of the Tlingit nation includes Northern British Columbia, the Yukon, and Alaska; "Our Strong Stories focus on three First Nation territories from across Canada and the United States. These stories reflect the belief that our stories are the roots of our people, our lands and our cultures. It is from our stories that we grow and become strong and proud."--Publisher's website; Primary grades
N2  - "As Raven flew over the forest, some of the salmonberries that he was carrying in his beak fell into the river. The berries washed out into the ocean where,
