The indigenous people of the Haida Gwaii, an archipelago of islands off the coast of what is now British Columbia, date back 17,000 years and to this day retain a rich vein of stories — mythopoeic gems, as Walker Brents III would have it.

This Sunday afternoon, Walker will tell a few of their stories, and will go into some of the implications and associations they provoke.

Walker is a fascinating storyteller, a unique and original thinker — one of the truly talented people we at Bird & Beckett are proud to be able to present on a regular basis.  He gives a talk here on the last Sunday of each month, except in the summer when he and his wife traverse a territory that ranges from the Pacific Northwest to the llano estacado of west Texas.  Walker and his talks are well worth an hour of your time on a Sunday afternoon.
