The Heart of a River is back in print, and author Eileen Delehanty Pearkes joined Ian and Jade to mark the occasion. Here's a sampling of what they discussed:
*being "tapped" to write The Heart of a River and letting the river speak
*the complexity of reconciling with a colonial past
*finding truth in the land (and water)
*encouraging developments for the Columbia River and rivers elsewhere
*Eileen's many relationships with members of the Sinixt community
*finding common ground between two seemingly different spiritualities
