And Mutsun words! The possibilities for using this book in elementary classrooms abound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eHannah Moreno, Amah Mutsun Tribal Band Member and 2nd grade teacher:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs Amah Mutsun, it is our moral duty to take care of Mother Earth and to honor all living things.
