To honour Earth Day 2014, anthropologist, photographer, author and National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence, Wade Davis will speak on the Sacred Headwaters as the guest of Elizabeth May, O.C., MP, leader of the Green Party of Canada. Dr. Davis is world-renowned for his research and photography of indigenous people and places, and for his beautifully illustrated presentations.

In the rugged knot of mountains in northern British Columbia lies a spectacular valley known to the First Nations as the Sacred Headwaters. There, three of Canada’s most important salmon rivers – the Stikine, the Skeena, and the Nass – are born in close proximity. Now, against the wishes of all First Nations, the British Columbia government has opened the Sacred Headwaters to industrial development.
