Blue Thunder learns about the Northern Lights from her Kohkom. As they sat together beneath the night sky, Kohkom tells Blue Thunder Woman that the glittering lights are the spirits of their ancestors dancing to symbolize that they are always watching over and guiding them. Blue Thunder is deeply bonded to both the lights and her people. When she sees the Northern Lights, she discovers that her ancestors are always keeping an eye on her, so she is never alone. My journey into writing these teachings began with the desire to educate my own children, which evolved into a mission to teach my husband as well-who had been in foster care in a non indigenous home from a young age till he aged out-about Indigenous culture. Through my books, you not only impart knowledge but also honor my late mother's memory, preserving and sharing the wisdom she generously provided during her lifetime.Looking ahead, we are excited to expand the series to feature other First Nations languages so that youth from various Indigenous communities can connect with and learn their own languages. In addition to empowering the next generation, we also hope to educate the older generations who might be reluctant or apprehensive about pursuing knowledge and assist them in embracing their cultural identity through language and traditions
