Me’ma and the Great Mountain

By: Lorin Morgan-Richards

Narrated by: Jessica Rose Felix

Me'ma and the Great Mountain is about a little girl named Me'ma who lives in an oppressed village called Sunken Creek. Faced with removal, Me'ma brings to focus her extraordinary ability to see ghoulish characters who try to help her in overcoming the nightmare she and her people are facing from an evil tyrant.

Includes a special foreword by Native American activist Corine Fairbanks (Oglala Lakota).

Critic reviews

While Me'ma journeys toward the Great Mountain, her overriding concern is the for the native people, plants and animals of the area. Respecting nature comes easily to Me'ma, and she wants everyone to be treated safely and fairly. And since the Baron and the Serpent are the enemies of all, Me'ma particularly wants him stopped. Symbolizing the way native peoples were removed from their land, this story reminds us that nothing good can come from such violence. Me'ma and the Great Mountain is a lesson reminding us of our obligation to treat others with fairness and kindness, allowing all to remain free.
