While hunting Dall sheep in the spectacularly wild Tatshenshini/Alsek Wilderness Park in 1999, Bill Hanlon and his two hunting partners discovered the preserved remains of an ancient hunter emerging from the ice on the edge of a glacier. Now, almost 19 years later, Bill tells the story of this life-changing discovery and the three subsequent expeditions back to the discovery site of Kwäday Dän Ts'ìnchi or "Long Ago Person Found".
Speaker: Bill Hanlon has been an irascible wilderness fighter for the last 30 years with various conservation organizations in the East Kootenay region of British Columbia. He is the first chair of the British Columbia Chapter of the Backcountry Hunters & Anglers and co-founder of the Hornaday Wilderness Society. Bill spends every possible minute horsepacking, backpacking and hunting-especially for wild sheep-in the wildest places remaining in British Columbia. He was presented the Aldo Leopold Award for exceptional work and dedication to conservation and backcountry values at the 2018 Backcountry Hunters & Anglers Rendezvous in Boise Idaho.BHA CEO Land Tawney, Chapter Coordinator Ty Stubblefield and BC Chair Bill Hanlon will be in attendance.
