I have worked here since 2011 telling stories of the Earth as preparation for a history of the Intermontane Grasslands of Central Cascadia and the rainswept coast that keeps them windy and dry. Now I am presenting this history, step by step, as I have learned it, often from the land itself. The history of this region includes the Canadian colonial space “The Okanagan Valley”, which lies over the land I live in above Canim Bay. The story stretches deep into the American West, into the US Civil War, the War of 1812, and the Louisiana Purchase, as well into the history of the Columbia District of the Hudson’s Bay Company. In all, the story spans the Chilcotin and Columbia volcanic plateaus and the basins that surround them. In this vast watershed lie homelands as old as 13,200 years (Sequim) and 16,200 years (Salmon River.) That’s how far we are walking together here, who are all the land speaking.
Okanagan Okanogan 
Let Us! Amen!! … What a stunning beauty.
But now, let us also phrase Harold, who can also work for PEACE.
Do you still remember “Pokret! Move On!”. All the leftover I had, has vanished here at Concorde, and now my only one I kept for myself. One of the higher personnel at Village expressed interest for herself and husband. My own last one, i placed on her desk. It disappeared. No one knows where.
My head is whirling as I am typing. I was just tested for my eyes, and now I know I have very bad trachea needed urgent operation, Have not been able to read books for a long time now; and recently became aware that all my glasses are to be replaced, maybe with nothing. After the operation. I’have to postpone my typing about my plan for you.
Cheers, for now, “littleBrother”. With for you little extra work, you could make some green. All money, and much glory, yours.

Hi, Dan,
I have a copy somewhere I can bring. I started work on it again, but, whew, the currently unfolding political situation is difficult to unravel. I planned to come see you before Christmas, but got hung up on preparing Christmas for other people, which was sad. The hope is to come see you soon, on my birthday or earlier.
The green, eh. You’ll have to tell me more.
best
Harold
