Bio: KwiiGeIiWans means 'Big Precious Loved Cloud.' This is Roberta Kennedy's Haida name. She is originally from Haida Gwaii (The Land of the Good People-or the Queen Charlotte Islands, B.C.) She has travelled across Canada telling Haida Raven tales to audiences of all ages for the past 15 years. These stories tell of a time when the animals were people like us: the people of the air, the people of the water, the four-legged people. Humans were simply the two-legged people. The others were our brothers and sisters.
