Learning to carve argillite

Davidson, Sara Florence, 1973- (author.). Davidson, Robert, 1946- (author.). Gibbons, Janine, (illustrator.).

In this book, a son (Robert Davidson) learns to carve argillite from his father and grandfather. While carving, the son thinks back on a trip with his father when they gathered argillite from Slatechuck Mountain on Haida Gwaii. He remembers his father's words about looking back to find our way. Emphasizing the importance of intergenerational learning and specifically the role of Elders in sharing knowledge and mentoring, this book provides an example of how learning occurs through observation.
