Acknowledgements

I am deeply indebted and grateful to a number of people who have been instrumental in the realization of this book. Elois Yakley encouraged me every step of the way and carefully reviewed the text, along with Dr. Bristol Foster, Richard Krieger and John Broadhead. I wish to thank Gregg Sheehy for his contribution to the chapter “All Aboard!” and all the other photo contributors, most notably Richard Krieger, Jeffrey Gibbs and Mike Randall at Langara Lodge.

None of this would have been possible without the love, support and encouragement of friends and family, through adoption or bloodline, who are too numerous to mention. None have figured more prominently in this book than Guujaaw—Chief Gidansda, my teacher and lifelong friend. Haw’aa.
