WHEN THE AWARD-WINNING POET
David Bouchard first saw the artwork of First Nations artist Roy Henry Vickers, he was struck by Vickers'
reverence for nature, the vibrancy of his colours, and his perceptive understanding of Canada's rugged
West Coast. He saw in Vickers' images the perfect complement to his own lyrical, thoughtful poetry.
They collaborated on the original edition of The Elders Are Watching, which has delighted more than
100,000 readers in four languages. Says Bouchard, "Both Roy and I share similar dreams for our children.
Through this book, we hope that others will come to share these dreams and together work toward correcting
some of the mistakes of the past."
