Excerpt: In Our Traditional Territory (by (author) Monica Weaver; illustrated by Maedeh Mosaverzadeh)
“Who are all these people?” I ask. “They are family and other Clan members,” answers Mom. Hmm, I think, smiling. We must share this Traditional Territory. After my family settles in at Uncle’s house, Grandma says, “We need to wake up very early to check-net, so you better go to sleep now, Monica.” I quickly fall asleep listening to the crackling of the fireplace. CRICK, CRACK. CRICK, CRACK.
