Celia's Song

Mink is a witness, a shape shifter, compelled to follow the story that has ensnared Celia and her village, on the West coast of Vancouver Island in Nu:Chahlnuth territory.

Celia is a seer who â€” despite being convinced sheâ€™s a little â€œoffâ€ â€” must heal her village with the assistance of her sister, her mother and father, and her nephews.

While mink is visiting, a double-headed sea serpent falls off the house front during a fierce storm. The old snake, ostracized from the village decades earlier, has left his terrible influence on Amos, a residential school survivor. The occurrence signals the unfolding of an ordeal that pulls Celia out of her reveries and into the tragedy of her cousinâ€™s granddaughter.

Each one of Celiaâ€™s family becomes involved in creating a greater solution than merely attending to her cousinâ€™s granddaughter.

Celiaâ€™s Song relates one Nuuâ€™Chahlnuth familyâ€™s harrowing experiences over several generations, after the brutality, interference, and neglect resulting from contact with Europeans.
