Currie is set to release her fourth children’s book ‘Don’t Panic Eat Bannock,’ which she describes as an Indigenized version of the gingerbread man story
Miranda Currie wants Indigenous kids to see themselves represented authentically in media.
“Being here on the Yellowknives Dene First Nation land, Chief Drygeese territory, Akaitcho territory, I just feel it’s an important thing to uphold and try to advocate for language so that kids can have their languages,” she said. The ceremony also saw the induction of the Yellowknives Dene Drummers, late musician Ted Wesley, one of the original founders of the Folk on the Rocks music festival in Yellowknife, and Norm Glowach into the newly created N.W.T. music hall of fame.
Currie is now set to release her fourth children’s book “Don’t Panic Eat Bannock,” which she describes as an Indigenized version of the gingerbread man story.
