Churchill River Books Books for children and adults by Woodland Cree, about growing up in Northern Saskatchewan
True stories , easy to read with awesome illustrations. Funny

We are a small company that writes and sells books by S. Custer, a Cree from northern Saskatchewan. The true stories of his youth, and how he was raised in the old traditions are both educational and entertaining to read. The children's books have wonderful illustrations to accompany the stories. A real delight for anyone interested in the traditions of the Woodland Cree people and the adventures of living in Saskatchewan's north.

Hello to all our readers. We are thinking about putting out another book so would like some feedback. If you have read our books tell us what you liked about them, also what you would like changed. Do you prefer the picture books for young children or like the short stories best? Would you like more stories about life on the trapline or growing up in the community? Would you like to see them in Cree as well as English, both or separately? Sanford has lots of stories so here is your chance to have some input. We would love to hear from you !
