This piece caught my eye, Lisa. I am a historian/writer and just spent several years tracking the story of the early 20th-century artist/explorer Mary Schäffer Warren for a documentary film and actually walking in her footsteps in the backcountry regions of the Canadian Rockies. So much of what you say here resonates with me. It's important to look back and view these historical figures within their context, but there is also an opportunity to make meaning for our lives today and how we can shape the future differently. Here is the film's trailer, in case you're curious: https://meghanjward.substack.com/p/official-trailer-wildflowers
A book has been on my mind but not sure about that just yet. And yes, we are working on US distribution through both festivals and eventually some kind of streaming. If you have any good leads, please let me know!

WOW! I got goosebumps watching the trailer and from your concept! Are you planning a book? US distribution of the documentary?

Even though you're not there anymore... :-/
Great perspective for looking at the past and the present.
