New children’s book recalls memories of LLRIB Elder Myles Charles
A new book called Seagull Island: kiyāsko-miniscikos has been released by Lac La Ronge Indian Band Elder Myles Charles and local author Miriam Körner.
Although a book launch was held in March at La Ronge’s Alex Robertson Public Library, a printer error delayed distribution of the book which finally began last week.
“The idea came from the story Myles told me one time about picking seagull eggs with his late wife and his grandson, and then going to have a shore lunch and cooking up the eggs then going home and later sharing some eggs with his auntie,” Körner said.
“I could just picture him going out on the boat and landing on the island and being surrounded by seagulls, but also all of the things he would see on the way to the island.”
