The first book of the Bible is called "Genesis" because the first word in the original Hebrew language means "In the beginning". This word comes into the Naskapi language from English, which came to English by way of Latin from the Greek word γένεσις (genesis), meaning 'beginning' or 'birth'. The Naskapi community gratefully acknowledges all who played a part in bringing this important book into our lives, and it is our sincere hope that it will remain an important part of Naskapi literature for generations to come.
