"In Anishnaabemowin, "okinum" means dam. In deciphering a recurring dream about beavers, Emilie Monnet discovers how to break down interior barriers, trust in the power of intuition, and deconstruct cultural walls. A circular and immersive experience that interweaves three languages--English, French, and Anishnaabemowin--Okinum is an ode to reclaiming language and reconnecting to one's ancestors."-- Provided by publisher.
