Cloudwalker by renowned Northwest Coast artist Roy Henry Vickers recounts in text and images the creation of the rivers the source of three of British Columbia’s largest salmon-bearing rivers. These rivers, the Nass, Skeena, and the Stikine, are the source of life for all creatures in the area. Cloudwalker is the second in a series of Northwest Coast legends by Roy Henry Vickers and Robert Budd. This 40-page book explains the creation of these rivers. Astace, a young Gitxsan hunter, is intent on catching a group of swans with his bare hands.

The author has selected various Native American traditional stories or legends from a variety of sources and combined the traditional story with scientific information about weather phenomena such as floods, rainbows, the sun, wind, snowstorms, clouds and rain, thunder and lightning, tornadoes, and drought. Of dubious inclusion is the section about so-called Indian Summer. The author clearly flails to suggest that Native Americans, First Nations and Inuit Peoples are the knowledge keepers of a vast amount of Indigenous Knowledge about the environment, the climate and weather.
