Following the Good River - by Briony Penn (Hardcover)

This is a must-read biography of Cecil Paul (Wa'xaid), one of North America's most prominent Indigenous leaders.

Born in 1931, Wa'xaid shares his story of survival, forgiveness, and healing after being placed in a residential school at age ten, where he was abused.

Despite decades of alcohol abuse, he returned to his ancestral territory and worked tirelessly to protect the Kitlope, the largest intact temperate rainforest watershed in the world.

Briony Penn's major biography is a timely reminder of the state of British Columbia's Indigenous community, the environmental and political strife still facing many Indigenous communities, and the philosophical and personal journey of this remarkable man.

With over five hundred articles on environmental issues and natural history, Briony Penn is an award-winning writer and the perfect author to tell Wa'xaid's story.
