| “The
trees
were
our
first
teachers.”
In Teachings
of
the
Tree
People,
nationally
acclaimed
artist
and Skokomish
tribal
leader,
Gerald
Bruce
Miller
(subiyay)
interpreted
the sacred
teachings
of the
natural
world
to anyone
who came
to learn.
A passionate
student
of the
traditional
culture,
Bruce became
the bearer
of the
language,
oral traditions,
art and
spirituality
of the tuwaduq
(Twana)
and Southern
Coast Salish
peoples. This
gentle
and generous
film documents
his race
against
time and
ailing
health
to pass
his knowledge
on to those
who would
listen.
