Book Box: Nova Scotia Gaelic Flag

The Nova Scotia Gaelic flag depicts the Salmon of Knowledge. In the official description, "The salmon represents gift of knowledge in the Gaelic storytelling traditions of Nova Scotia, Scotland and Ireland and the Isle of Man. The 'G' represents the Gaelic language and the ripples are the manifestations of the language through its attendant culture: song, story, music, dance and custom and belief systems."

Fionn MacCool and the Salmon of Knowledge is a children's book that tells the story of the Salmon of Wisdom depicted on the Gaelic flag, and teaches Scottish Gaelic vocabulary words through an action story in English. G is for Gael: An Alphabet of Nova Scotia's Gaelic Culture is a picture book that gives cultural context of the Gaelic flag in Nova Scotia.
