The book was compiled and edited by award winning editor and author\, Luanne Armstrong. Dancing on Mountains is a collection of inspiring and eclectic stories written by women from across geography and time\, each of whom has been drawn to take root in the mystic\, beautiful Kootenays. In their own words\, these women—teachers\, artists\, musicians\, writers\, entrepreneurs and environmentalists—share stories that embody the spirit of the Kootenays. From fleeing the US draft alongside the men of the sixties and pushing against traditional gender roles and sexism\, to reclaiming Indigenous identities\, calling out environmental threats and fighting for our climate today\, these stories span the spectrum of human experience. \nNestled among pristine lakes\, powerful rivers and awe-inducing mountain ranges\, the Kootenay region of British Columbia has always drawn a distinctly adventurous crowd. The dramatic and somewhat isolated landscape has long been a fertile ground for artists\, musicians\, back-to- the-landers\, hippies\, environmentalists\, free thinkers\, and those seeking to escape the confines of big cities to the east and west and the political dynamics to the south. Others have called the area home for millennia—the Sinixt Nation\, which spans the interior plateau of BC and extends beyond the areas now known as the Kootenay region\, and the Ktunaxa Nation\, which have long resided on the lands and waters of the Kootenay and Columbia Rivers and beyond the confines of our colonial borders. Today\, the Kootenay region is a hub of farming\, arts\, culture and counterculture in British Columbia and the contributors for this fascinating anthology represent the wide\, culturally diverse and fascinating variety of women’s stories. \nThe book is available in bookstores or can be ordered from Caitlin Press.\nhttps://caitlinpress.com/ \nThe Creston Book launch will be held Saturday\, April 25th\, at 2 pm. \nReaders will be Maureen Cameron\, Ilana Cameron\, Paula Snow\, Polly Wilson and Yvette Schenkel. Our bookseller will be Joe Fraser of Kingfisher Books. Coffee by Lark Roasters.
