Bainbridge author Stefani Galaday’s new book, Finch (WU-451)

“What’s happening to our world?,” she said. Who is speaking? It’s Finch, the bird-woman, who lives on a treeless island. She wants to build a boat as the water is rising.

Bainbridge Islander Stefani Galaday’s new book, Finch, sets the issues of climate change and the human condition into a charming mythological format as she explores hat is happening to our world and what can we do as individuals and organizations to steer our planet boat in a life affirming direction.

Stefani will be reading, taking questions and leading a discussion on Saturday, August 18th, from 2 to 4 PM at the Bainbridge Island Library. Everyone is invited! If you’d like a copy of the book, or to contact Stefani, email her at finchbirdwoman@gmail.com.

Land Acknowledgment

“Every part of this soil is sacred in the estimation of my people. Every hillside, every valley, every plain and grove, has been hallowed by some sad or happy event in days long vanished.” – Chief Seattle 1854

We would like to begin by acknowledging that the land on which we gather is within the ancestral territory of the suq̀ʷabš “People of Clear Salt Water” (Suquamish People). Expert fisherman, canoe builders and basket weavers, the suq̀ʷabš live in harmony with the lands and waterways along Washington’s Central Salish Sea as they have for thousands of years. Here, the suq̀ʷabš live and protect the land and waters of their ancestors.
