How do you make a country out of a series of industrial art works?
You take the sun and all that it does out in the red medicine willows …
… add some myths about the cold North left over from the expulsion of English patriots to Indian Territory after the American Civil War, and get Kelowna…
… a kind of Martian colony in the grass.
It is a safe place for people who are a long way from home. It is a fortress.
Oh, did you think that space colonization was fiction? Why, meet the life forms of this place, invisible aliens picking the snow out of the air. Well, invisible to some.
It is a form of breathing. We live among wonders and artificial suns.
We have all we need to find the light on our planet among the stars.
What stories we could tell the Canadian-Americans…
… if there were just a language we could share!
