Winter

Kwädąy Dän Ts’ìnchį Book Launch

I am off to the Yukon for a few days. Now you might wonder why would anyone leave the mild damp of the coast for the dark cold winter north of 60. In my case, there is a good reason – to take part in the launch of a book that I co-edited and otherwise contributed to. The book is about the Kwädąy Dän Ts’ìnchį project which concerned the recovery and study of a young indigenous man whose body and belongings were found frozen in a glacier in the Tatshenshini-Alsek Park in 1999.

 

If you click on the picture above it will take you to the book website where you can learn a bit more and order a copy too or find out enough to convince your library to get a copy. CAN$50 for 704 pages is an awfully good deal.

 

No Night Parking

 

 

There are about 3 parking spots next to this sign, and the beach down below is a spot that young people like to party late into the night.

Hence the fire prohibition and highly unusual parking restrictions.

I have no explanation for the rubbish, it too is highly unusual in this neighbourhood.
