Seven Campfires to the Nahanni

Set against the backdrop of the Nahanni River, the author embarks on a unique expedition that honors Indigenous travel traditions. Unlike most visitors who arrive by floatplane, he chooses to journey overland, echoing the historical routes of fur traders and Indigenous peoples. After immigrating to Canada and earning a doctorate, he seizes the chance for a six-week wilderness adventure, navigating challenging terrains with friends. Their trek involves portaging canoes and enduring the elements, culminating in a profound connection to the river's spirit.
