Ganohkwa Sra introduces its first children's book to SN Community (Continued from front page) how sexual abuse could affect them. Intermixed throughout the story are simple words in Mohawk, Tuscarora, Oneida, Cayuga, Seneca and Onondaga with English translations in brackets. For example, "Grandmother takes the dish of cookies off the counter and says 'satien (sit) down my children I have a story to tell you both.' Grandmother begins her storyas they sit down at the table to eat the cookies and prepare to hear her story." The book was designed to help children understand sexual abuse from a traditional Native perspective. Eagle Child illustrates how two native children come to their own understanding of sexual abuse under the guidance of their grandmother.
