An Aboriginal Carol is a recent release from Red Deer Press that truly represents the collaboration of Metis author David Bouchard, Inuit musician Susan Aglukark, and Ojibwe artist Moses Beaver. Each artist brings their unique talents to a newly revised version of the Huron Carol. Based on the original Jesus ahatonhia written by Jean de Brebeuf, this picture book contains a CD with the readings of the carol in English and Inuktitut as well as the song performed in Inuktitut by Susan Aglukark. Susan also translated the original carol from English to Inuktitut. The Woodland style artwork by Moses Beaver compliments the song poem. In the introductory notes author David Bouchard states that according to First Nations knowledge, Jesus Christ first appeared in North America (Turtle Island) as the Iroquois Peacemaker who is responsible for the Great Law of Peace. This makes an excellent read-aloud book for children and adults. Ideal for the Christmas season.
