About the Book

See below for English description.

Deux grandes créatrices du Québec, Melissa Mollen Dupuis et Elise Gravel, s'unissent pour nous offrir une oeuvre marquante, Nutshimit: Un bain de forêt.

Partez à l'aventure et découvrez le Nutshimit de Melissa Mollen Dupuis, brillamment illustré par Elise Gravel. Ce documentaire ludique, raconté à la première personne du singulier, s'adresse à tous les amateurs de la nature, petits et grands. Au fil des pages, Melissa nous amène au coeur de la forêt, sa forêt. Elle y décrit le territoire si important pour sa nation et pour toutes les premières nations du Canada. De la légende de la création de la terre à la vie innue d'aujourd'hui, le lecteur découvre le Nutshimit, l'espace physique et social, là où l'on pratique les activités traditionnelles (mordiller de l'écorce de bouleau, allumer un feu, cuire un pashimeu (pâté de bleuets), tresser le foin d'odeur...).

En plus d'y trouver tous les éléments si chers à la vie en forêt (animaux, oiseaux, flore, faune, coutumes...) Melissa introduit des mots innus pour nous donner un bain complet de sa culture. On y retrouve aussi des activités chères aux peuples autochtones comme cuire la bannique, faire le sirop d'érable ou boucaner le saumon. Le ton familier et joyeux de Melissa ainsi que les anecdotes tirées de ses expériences font de cet ouvrage un outil indispensable pour connaître la vie en forêt.

Elise Gravel has teamed up with Innu author Melissa Mollen Dupuis to bring us Nutshimit: In the Woods.

The Innu word Nutshimit signifies the physical and social space to practice traditional activities and language. In this first-person account, Melissa and Elise take us on a journey through the culture, from creation legends to Innu life today.

Melissa also takes us through a forest bath. "A what?" you may ask. You'll just have to read the book and see!

Along the way, readers will learn Innu nature vocabulary (did you know that kakacshu is the Innu word for crow?). And of course, this being an Elise-illustrated book, the pages are populated with hilarious characters and plenty of fun details. Melissa's colloquial and open tone and anecdotes from her lived experiences make the book extra personal.
