Product Description

The Yukon Ice Patch Project reveals ancient lives. A road through the boreal forest reads like a map of climate upheaval. Those houses with broken doorknobs--a legacy of government regulation over Indigenous life. Corinna Cook, who was born white on Áak'w Kwáan Tlingit land in Juneau, Alaska, wrestles with the past and future into Canada's Yukon Territory. With writing that blends research and reverie, her essays ask how we might come into right relations with our most difficult, shared histories. How can we carry the past together, in a good way, as the land melts? The answers--elusive as they are--carry global resonance, taking shape through a deeply personal lens combined with careful study of local arts, artifacts, maps, and the land we depend on.
