Book excerpt: The setting is the legendary South Nahanni River in Canada's Northwest Territories-as remote and wild a river as any man could hope for. The Nahanni flows through a land of unsurpassed beauty and legend-harrowing legend. To access it, you must travel due North across the North American continent until the road is no more, then jump a bush plane for a flight across the infamous Mackenzie Mountains, deep into the wild, to the headwaters of the Nahanni. Once in, there is but one way out-down 300 miles of rampaging river, across mighty Virginia Falls, through Deadmen's Valley, then a succession of three formidable, bottomless canyons, filled wall to wall with treacherous rapids-enough whitewater and danger to satisfy even the most beastly of men. On that river, in the summer of "74"-a man, a boy and an open 16 foot, wood and canvass canoe with 250 miles of bad water between them and homeward bound. Fate would not be kind and near the end of the journey they would find themselves hopelessly trapped in the Lower Canyon without gear or canoe. Only the most unlikely of events could save them-but could they survive long enough for it to happen?

Its unfathomable magnificence acts as a catalyst to birth both general and special revelation. Drawn into this otherworldly realm of canyons and cryptids, a band of intrepid survivors of an apocalyptic plague must find a way to rebirth the world. But first they must face their own demons and then conquer ancient evil entities that have been released by the remnants of technology of the former world. Only by learning to walk by faith in the present tense, and by becoming committed vessels for the Creator, can they hope to be victorious. Being called together by an unseen power, they learn to embrace their diversity by love and determination. During their adventure, they come to realize they "do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers; against spiritual wickedness in high places, and the rulers of the darkness of this age." The horrors they must overcome have never been witnessed by humankind, and these terrors seem to be unconquerable. Their only weapon is their conviction that faith is the victory that overcomes the world. Armed with this awareness, they must save not only the universe but the multiverse. Bravely facing relic populations of prehistoric monsters, the brave troop trudges the road of destiny, called onward by ominous and beastly howls that echo down the Nahanni Valley.

Download or read book If I Go Missing written by Jonnie, Brianna and published by Lorimer. This book was released on 2019-12-03 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combining graphic fiction and non-fiction, this young adult graphic novel serves as a window into one of the unique dangers of being an Indigenous teen in Canada today. The text of the book is derived from excerpts of a letter written to the Winnipeg Chief of Police by fourteen-year-old Brianna Jonnie — a letter that went viral and was also the basis of a documentary film. In her letter, Jonnie calls out the authorities for neglecting to immediately investigate missing Indigenous people and urges them to "not treat me as the Indigenous person I am proud to be," if she were to be reported missing. Indigenous artist Neal Shannacappo provides the artwork for the book. Through his illustrations he imagines a situation in which a young Indigenous woman does disappear, portraying the reaction of her community, her friends, the police and media. An author's note at the end of the book provides context for young readers about Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls in Canada.
