 y\n\nTomson Highway was born in a snowbank on the Manitoba/Nunavut border 
 to a family of nomadic caribou hunters. He was raised off-reserve\, in the
  spectacularly beautiful natural landscape that is Canada’s subarctic. H
 e had the great privilege of growing up in two languages\, neither of whic
 h were French or English\; but Cree\, his mother tongue\, and Dene\, the l
 anguage of the neighbouring nation—a people with whom they roamed and hu
 nted. \n\nFollowing an education where he earned both a Bachelor of Music
  and the equivalent of a Bachelor of Arts with an English major\, he spent
  seven years immersed in the field of Native social work. He then combined
  his education and training\, and poured himself into writing. \n\nToday\
 , Tomson enjoys an international career as playwright\, novelist\, pianist
 \, composer\, and songwriter. Tomson is best known for universal hits such
  as The Rez Sisters\, Dry Lips Oughta Move to Kapuskasing\, Rose\, Ernesti
 ne Shuswap Gets her Trout\, and the best-selling novel Kiss of the Fur Que
 en. He has also published a number of children’s books\, namely Caribou 
 Song\, Dragon Fly Kites\, and Fox on the Ice. His work has been translated
  into 11 languages. \n\nFor many years\, Tomson was Artistic Director of 
 Canada’s premiere aboriginal theatre company\, Toronto-based Native Eart
 h Performing Arts\, from which has emerged an entire generation of playwri
 ghts and theatre artists. \n\nTomson is the recipient of 10  honorary do
 ctorates and is a member of the Order of Canada. His awards and nomination
 s include Dora Mavor Moore Awards\, Governor General’s Literary Award\, 
 Floyd S. Chalmers Canadian Play Award\, Toronto Arts Award\, and National 
 Aboriginal Achievement Award. \n\nFluent in Cree\, French\, and English\,
  he continues to write\, teach\, lecture\, and perform across Canada and a
 round the world. \n\nIn keeping with Nova Scotia provincial health regula
 tions and a desire to keep all our guests safe and healthy\, Devour! will
