Faces In The Forest

In Faces in the Forest Michael Blackstock, a forester and an artist, takes us into the sacred forest, revealing the mysteries of carvings, paintings, and writings done on living trees by First Nations people. Blackstock details this rare art form through oral histories related by the Elders, blending spiritual and academic perspectives on Native art, cultural geography, and traditional ecological knowledge. Faces in the Forest begins with a review of First Nations cosmology and the historical references to tree art. Blackstock then takes us on a metaphorical journey along the remnants of trading and trapping trails to tree art sites in the Gitxsan, Nisga'a, Tlingit, Carrier, and Dene traditional territories, before concluding with reflections on the function and meaning of tree art, its role within First Nations cosmology, and the need for greater respect for all of our natural resources. This fascinating study of a haunting and little-known cultural phenomenon helps us to see our forests with new eyes.

Because of deforestation in their natural habitat, the muriquis are confined to less than 3 percent of their original range. This book is a natural history of the muriqui from its scientific discovery in 1806 to its current, highly endangered status.

Let's face it: Creation care is our concern. What do you sense the Creatoris wanting to communicate with you?

Faces From the Forest was inspired by one man's journey through trauma. Practicing the healing power of mindfulness while bush walking, he discovered an eye for finding the true beauty of nature. Through inviting the reader to observe the vibrant colours and intricate patterns of the 'faces' in the trees, the book guides the reader to be deeply present and connected with nature and themselves.
