Album Notes

Richard Nelson has spent forty years as a cultural anthropologist in the north living with indigenous people and writing extensively abou thuman relationships to the natural world. This public radio program captures the sounds from the wild as he records information, observations and reflections in some of Alaska's most beautiful and pristine places.

This CD collection includes some of our favorite Encouters episodes. It will take you on an audio adventure guided by modern science and native traditions. Join Richard Nelson high atop a 65 foot tree to record a program on wind, kayak alongside a pod of enormous sea lions, learn how it feels to look into the eyes of a grizzly bear at very close range and hear thousands of hooves clicking as you are surrounded by migrating caribou in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.

These are exciting and fascinating journeys.
See you there!
