"Heart of the Cariboo-Chilcotin" features stories about the clashes
between people and nature, genders and generations, Whites and
Natives, lawbreakers and the law, conquerors and conservationists.
First in a series, this anthology of diverse voices tells the story
of the Cariboo-Chilcotin, a harshly beautiful and remote region in
BC's north.The stories cover a wide range of topics, including:
native life on the cusp of change and how that change is handled;
gold miners seeking adventure but finding heartache and
occasionally riches; travellers on the famous Cariboo Road; and the
first tourist to the area. The authors speak of differences, but
also of common ground, of places where the voices harmonise with
shared concerns, dreams and goals that cross all boundaries in the
timeless human striving to explore and create, and to build a place
to call home. This collection of voices sings to the beat of the
one true Cariboo-Chilcotin heart, sounding out its strength and
humility, grit and humour, community and self-sacrifice.
