It offers an incomparable glimpse into the experiences and history of more than one hundred First Nations and Metis elders from Canada's North the last generation born on the land. These stunning graphite pencil portraits are rendered with love, respect, and painstaking detail, along with gripping intimate profiles assembled from oral accounts and anecdotes.
