To everyone who has contributed already, we say Kinanaskomitin, thank you in Cree. Keep an eye out for more updates soon, as we announce our next funding goals, and what that means for the book.

We think the surge of support speaks to the appeal of the book, and we hope you'll agree. But even though we've reached our first funding goal, the campaign isn't over. Every dollar we get in support of the book will go towards improving it, and getting it into more hands.
