On some corner of the vast Earth, each one of us has a place — real or remembered — to call home.
In this hour, we are invited onto other people’s sacred ground. Teresa Goff follows a trail of grease into the history of the Namgis Nation, Jeff Rice braves three-digit temperatures to find Charles Bowden’s home in the Sonoran Desert, and Sandy Tolan treads lightly at the monastic home of Barry Lopez.
Also: In a story from the Kitchen Sisters, we meet two river guides who fell for Arizona’s Glen Canyon in the years before it was dammed — and we learn what happens once the place you love is gone.
