RAVEN WALKS AROUND THE WORLD

by THOM HENLEY
Beautifully recounted with passion, humour and humility, Raven Walks around the World is a moving and thoughtful account of a life lived in harmony with the land and community.
Henley's story is peppered with a cast of unlikely characters serendipitously drawn together, such as the time he hosted then-Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau and entourage, including five-year-old Justin Trudeau, at his remote driftwood hippie hut on Haida Gwaii. Over and over, Henley found himself at the epicentre of significant events that included a historic legislation, an indigenous rights campaign world tour, as well as two global disasters--the 2004 South Asian tsunami and the 2015 Nepal earthquake.

COURAGE OF THE SEA

The Last Stand of the Moken

Through this timely publication, the authors tell the story of a unique maritime people who may have more to teach us than we them. With over 200 stunning images and a engaging text, the story of the Moken comes to life here as never before.

Ancient Pathways - New Directions

This book is a treasure trove of traditional ecological-centered games that can be played with children and adults. The book comes from the experience of the Rediscovery program, founded by Thom in 1978. The initial focus of this wilderness-cultural heritage program was to bring together Haida and non-native youths on Haida Gwaii to discover the worlds within themselves, the cultural worlds between them and the wonders of the natural world around them. The activities in this book provided the crucial starting point for immersion, connecting and fun!

A SEED OF HOPE

by THOM HENLEY
A privileged teenager, lost in the tragedy of his own loveless life, finds escape - first in street drugs, then in a jungle, half a world away. The peculiar circumstances which put the boy there pale in comparison to the life and death struggles he now finds himself in. Terrifying tropical storms, raging rivers, deadly snakes, blood-sucking leeches and a hostile government confront the young man, but it is his own inner fears which challenge him most. Ironically, it is a remnant of humanity's most archaic past - the last nomadic forest dwellers of Borneo, that offer the boy, and the world, the prospect of hope for the future.
A brilliant blend of fact and fiction; the author takes us to a place few have ever been and brings us back - renewed. This book must be special ordered, please email us for inquiries.

Living legend of the Mentawai is a rare and revealing insight into one of the world's last Neolithic societies, a society that may have less to teach us about our primitive past than to inspire us in our collective future.
