This is an excellent piece of writing. The narrative is strong and the actualities propel the action toward this very strong ending. Ambient sound and the Native American music give this piece a strong sense of place. Kudos all the way around.
Allan Coukell takes us to a Haida village in Canada, where the tribal members are giving their ancestors
a traditional burial. We hear from modern Haida involved in a cultural renaissance, using the old ways in this new world.
Coukell's descriptions, through clear writing and sound, take you there.
He brings knowledge, feeling and understanding to the piece.
