Cedar Mother: Truth, Resilience, and Roots

The final book in the beloved Mothers of Xsan series, “The Cedar Mother,” just hit shelves, wrapping up a powerful journey that uses animals to teach kids about nature’s interconnectedness. Created by Gitxsan author Brett Huson, this installment centers on the cedar tree — a symbol of truth, resilience, and survival for his people. Inspired by his own childhood longing for positive Indigenous representation, Huson shares how the land is everything — “we are nothing without the land.” Beyond storytelling, he’s expanding his mission: launching an Indigenous research institute, writing for adults, and even exploring film. He’s determined to reshape narratives, ensuring Indigenous knowledge isn’t sidelined — because who gets to tell the story matters.
