Adney is best known for a singular achievement. He was the artist, writer, and illustrator whose chance encounter with Peter Jo, a W?last?kwi Elder– craftsman, led to a passionate, lifelong interest in the birchbark canoe and W?last?kwey culture.

But that is only part of the story. Throughout his life, little escaped Adney’ s curiosity. From his extensive documentation of the design of Indigenous canoes to his reportage on the Klondike Gold Rush; from his work as an illustrator, photographer, and designer to his natural history journalism; from his activism for Indigenous rights to his documentation of the W?last?kwey language, Adney’ s mind roamed from one passion to another, leaving behind a treasure trove of natural history and ethnographic research. This book tells the intriguing story of his remarkable life and his multifaceted legacy.
