Learn the Colors in Lingit

Colors teaches the Lingít words for colors through comparisons to animals, plants and natural objects found in Southeast Alaska. The Lingít words were compiled by Yarrow Vaara and the book was illustrated by David Lang. This book is part of Sealaska Heritage Institute's Baby Raven Reads, a program for Alaska Native families with children up to age 5 that promotes language development and school readiness.

 

Baby Raven Reads is an award-winning Sealaska Heritage education program that promotes early-literacy, language development and school readiness for Alaska Native families with children up to age 5. The pilot program in Juneau ended in 2017, and SHI received funding to offer the program for another three years and to expand it to nine other communities in Southeast Alaska.
