Description
Adventurers Hap Wilson and Stephanie Aykroyd spent four years traversing 4,000 rugged kilometers of historic fur-trade routes and Ojibwa water routes, on foot and by canoe, in the creation of this astonishing photographic journal. Captured here are scenes of high adventure, world-class pictograph sites along the Bloodvein-Berens River corridors, all stripe of indigenous flora and fauna, life among Manitoba First Nations people in six locations, and representations from each of Manitoba's distinct bioregions. Presented from the perspective of wilderness preservation and ecotourism, Wilderness Manitoba: Land Where the Spirit Lives has the support of the Government of Manitoba, the First Nations People of Manitoba, scientific and anthropological societies, and regional tourism operators.
