Ken Tomilson was a writer, a glass artist, a community-builder, a traveller, and an adventurer. He was beloved for his good humour and gentle wisdom by friends and family around the world. His heart always remained wrapped up in this land, his birthplace: the Northwest Coast of Turtle Island. This book is the great artistic work of his lifetime. Metlakatla came to him as a vision with a demand to be written. Over 15 years, he wrote and re-wrote this love letter to the First Peoples. He completed the novel just as he completed his hero's journey, leaving it as his legacy. Proceeds from this work will be split evenly between Rainbow Refugee and Out On Screen. See less
