Book One: Awakening in the Northwest Territories
Though the memoir spans sixty years, the core of the story takes place in the N.W.T.
Disillusioned with the passivity of an early retirement, Alastair Henry set off in search of adventure and a deeper meaning to life by going to live with a small band of First Nations people (Chipewyans) in a remote fly-in location in Canada's far north.
Cultural differences and a challenging environment ignited fresh perspectives, fueled his soul-searching and inspired a new way of being.
He was a hard core financial business type when he went to Lutsel K'e, and when he departed, two years later, he was a changed man. Passionate about helping others less fortunate, he went to Dhaka, Bangladesh for two years to volunteer his services with a local non-governmental organization.
