Am’ala is a traditional Tsimshian story about a young man who is teased by his brothers for being lazy and dirty trains secretly with a spirit to gain superhuman strength. This book, which was previously published in English through Baby Raven Reads, is told entirely in Sm’algya̱x, which was composed by The Haayk Foundation with the late Tsimshian Elder Sarah Booth. The story was adapted by Tlingit writer Frank Henry Kaash Katasse and illustrated by Tsimshian artist David Lang. Sm’algya̱x  audio narrated by David R. Boxley. visit SHI's YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLGoKk-JZWo1O4g5oS9FiQG8lVCrnMDpFY
