Review of Bringing home the bones

Allan Coukell takes us to a Haida village in Canada, where the tribal members are giving their ancestors
a traditional burial. We hear from modern Haida involved in a cultural renaissance, using the old ways in this new world.
Coukell's descriptions, through clear writing and sound, take you there.
He brings knowledge, feeling and understanding to the piece.
