Nutshimit : “Un bain de forêt”, French edition

Elise Gravel has teamed up with Innu author Melissa Mollen Dupuis to bring us Nutshimit : In the Woods. The Innu word Nutshimit signifies the physical and social space to practice traditional activities and language. In this first-person account, Melissa and Elise take us on a journey through the culture, from creation legends to Innu life today. Melissa also takes us through a forest bath. “A what?” you may ask. You’ll just have to read the book and see! Along the way, readers will learn Innu nature vocabulary (did you know that kakacshu is the Innu word for crow?). And of course, this being an Elise-illustrated book, the pages are populated with hilarious characters and plenty of fun details. Melissa’s colloquial and open tone and anecdotes from her lived experiences make the book extra personal. English title : Nutshimit: In the Woods
