The Lost Teachings / Panuijkatasikl Kina’masuti’l
Halifax – October 1, 2013 – Author Michael James Isaac has done a series of readings and a book launch in support of his latest book, The Lost Teachings / Panuijkatasikl Kina’masuti’l, in Halifax.
A children’s picture book, The Lost Teachings / Panuijkatasikl Kina’masuti’l, is written in both English and Mi’kmaw, making the book unique and important. The book tells the story of the seven teachings — wisdom, respect, love, honesty, humility, courage and truth — and how interconnected they are in achieving balance, harmony and peace for all individuals and society as a whole. It’s an important message for readers of any age, but it isn’t the only message Isaac has to share.

The Lost Teachings / Panuijkatasikl Kina’masuti’l is Isaac’s second book. His first, How the Cougar Came to be Called the Ghost Cat/Ta’n Petalu Telui’tut Skite’kmujewey Mia’wj, is also in English and Mi’kmaw.
Both of Isaac’s books are available in bookstores, and online from www.fernwoodp ...
