I can finally share this! ❤️📚

Ts’iyewh Ts’hilhtus: Strength For All is officially headed to the printers!

This beautiful book holds the stories of 37 Carrier and Sekani Elders sharing stories of resilience and I had the incredible honour of creating their portraits in places and with people close to their hearts.

This was so much more than a photography project. I travelled throughout the territories, sat with Elders, listened to their stories, visited places meaningful to them, held their soft hands, met families, laughed, learned, and captured moments that I hope carry even a little of who they are.

Throughout this journey, photography became a blending of art, story, ceremony, love and healing. 🌸

A few of the Elders I photographed have since moved on to sit with the Ancestors, making it even more meaningful to see their beautiful faces, stories and knowledge carried forward in these pages. I’m thinking of them and their families as this book makes its way into the world. ❤️

So much gratitude to the Elders who shared their stories and congratulations to Carrier Sekani Family Services, Warner Adam, Sarah de Leeuw, Travis Holyk, Samantha Macpherson, Melanie Labatch and everyone who helped bring this book to life — and to a coffee table near you. 😊

Ts’iyewh Ts’hilhtus: Strength For All officially launches this September on the unceded ancestral lands of the Lheidli T’enneh in Prince George.

Available for pre-order now through Caitlin Press or your local independent bookstore.

Our small but mighty Burns Lake team of two is having a blast at the Dunbar Summer Series! I think I have photos of every kid but mine 🥴 Just blur of Levi as he goes by...which I guess might be a good thing 🤷🏽‍♀️ Huge shout out to everyone who helped Levi get on the road with our last minute parts panic raffle, to the Evolve crew who helped straighten out some hangars in a pinch, and to the fantastic team at in Invermere, BC for going above and beyond the call of duty to hook us up and get us back in the race! Here we go tomorrow for race #2 in Panorama!!
