'Echoes of the Forest' Summary

Echoes of the Forest is a collection of twenty-six stories of First Nations origin, rendered in English verse by William Edgar Brown. The stories are distinctly indigenous in content and tone, and provide a glimpse into the rich oral tradition of the First Nations people. The stories cover a wide range of topics, including creation myths, animal tales, and stories of human relationships. Brown's dedication claims that the stories 'help us to understand that the white man and red man are brothers,' and they offer a valuable perspective on the shared humanity of all people.
