Fiction. Often, the way a story is told is as important as the story itself. This is true of the most recent novel by Gerry William, THE WOMAN IN THE TREES. Set during the time of the first contact, THE WOMAN IN THE TREES takes place around what is now Vernon, B.C. The novel moves effortlessly from myth to dream time to narrative real time. Spanning the historical period from 1780 to 1860, this book addresses a time of massive upheaval for the Okanagan people (the syilix). The coming of the horse, relations with early Europeans, and the smallpox epidemic dramatically changed the lives of the syilix. Part historical novel, part myth for our times, THE WOMAN IN THE TREES will inspire and ultimately satisfy. For as the narrator says, "there are fifty ways to tell the beginning of everything, but there is only one ending."

<p>An expression of the people, culture, ceremony and songs along the Fraser,<i>&nbsp;River of Salmon Peoples</i>captures what the Fraser River, and its most valuable resource, the salmon, means to First Nations communities along its basin. The result of nine community engagements, extensive research over two years, and illuminating photographs and artwork, this book includes the oral narratives of each community along the river. While capturing timeless Indigenous stories and legends about the salmon and the river, this book is also an exploration of the future of the salmon and waters of the Fraser River.</p>
