Book
Gold rush / [text and illustrations by Flora Delargy].
In 1896, Shaaw Tláa, a young First Nations woman and her group, discovered gold for the first time in the Klondike. It was a discovery that changed the region and the world forever. But no one remembers her name. Newspapers said the gold fields were "No place for women." But brave and spirited women ignored this advice. Follow four young women's real-life stories and joint their adventures as they navigate raging rapids, dangerous mountains, and societal constraints to join the gold rush.
