In 1935, a nine-year-old boy's family held a forbidden Potlatch in faraway Kingcome Inlet. Watl'kina slipped from his bed to bear witness. In the Big House masked figures danced by firelight to the beat of the drum. And there, he saw a figure he knew. Aboriginal elder Alfred Scow and award-winning author Andrea Spalding collaborate to tell the story, to tell the secret of the dance.

For Ethan, who loves to dance.
—Andrea Spalding
In loving memory of my mother, Tle’La’Wick, Alice Scow.
—Alfred Scow
I would like to dedicate this book to all the Native Baha’is in Canada,
who make it possible to forgive and grow, as the creator intended. May we
all one day unite, and discover home within our own hearts—once again...
—Darlene Gait
Many years ago, when the world and I were
younger, my family defied the government.

“Dancing’s against the law,” announced the Indian Agent.
“We need to hold a Potlatch ceremony,” whispered the Elders.
We were sent out to play.
