... that the picture book Orca's Song has received both praise for its depiction of a lesbian relationship and criticism for how it adapted a First Nations story? Praise: "In this beautiful tale, a female orca falls in love with a female osprey [and the two birth an orca as a child]. Orca’s song is a beautiful narrative of love that contains no overt moralising so often found in books in the first table of gay and lesbian stories." (Sapp 2010). Criticism: It's a "very 'New Age' rendering of this story [which], even with West Coast symbols, obscures any semblance of the story it might be based on" (Atleo 2006).
