ONE RIVER TWO CULTURES, A History of The Bella Coola Valley, by Paula Wild, is a remarkable story of human endurance and of a people's relationship with the raw, physical landscape around them.

Starting with the prehistory of the Nuxalk First Nations, Wild documents the arrival and impact of fur traders, explorers, gold seekers, the Norwegians who settled the valley in 1894, and the rough and ready mix of "outsiders" who embraced the challenges of living in a remote wilderness area.

One River, Two Cultures is a well-researched history told in an accessible, conversational style from the point of view of a visitor utterly swept away by the natural beauty of the Bella Coola Valley and the friendliness of its full-time residents. Illustrated with black and white archival photographs, as well as contemporary images, this book will take you to a place that is both striking in beauty and rich in culture.
