<p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>“DON’T GET LOST IN THE TRANSIT MINDSET”</strong></p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Christine Genier guides you on a journey down the Alaska Highway from the Carcross Cutoff to the Klondike Highway turn-off, down a route of personal stories and memories that give new life and presence to this everyday commute. </p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Joining her for a phone conversation along the way, her mother, Ta’an Kwach’an elder Shirley Adamson, reflects on the history of local landmarks Mt.

Meanwhile, Genier's father makes an appearance in the form of remembered French folk songs, sung by him during the car rides of her childhood.

Ivan Coyote with Sarah MacDougall - From Midnight Sun Coffee
<p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>THIS USED TO BE</strong></p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Ivan Coyote invites you to re-imagine the Wal-Mart parking lot as a wild marsh, Mountainview Drive as a sprawling forest, and all of Whitehorse as full of mystery and possibility, seen through Coyote in their youth. Beginning at Midnight Sun Coffee Roasters, the drive leads you up and through Porter Creek, to two of Coyote’s childhood houses built by their father, a trailer park home to werewolves, to the Porter Creek industrial section ripe with old rusted vehicle chassis to climb on and explore, and finally to Trails North Truck Stop. Accompanied by an ambient soundscape composed by Sarah MacDougall, Coyote’s stories flow together in a vivid and compelling picture of a different, older Whitehorse.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>STARTING SPOT: Midnight Sun Coffee<br></strong><a href="https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=1bcOMhyLWKt4HevgpodNVQgpIMf-14AFw&usp=sharing" target=""><strong>GOOGLE MAPS ROUTE</strong></a></p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">ARTIST BIOGRAPHIES</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>Ivan Coyote</strong> is a writer and storyteller who was born and raised in Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada. In 2019 Ivan marked 25 years on the road as an international touring storyteller and musician, and released their twelfth book, Rebent Sinner. Coyote’s stories grapple with the complex and intensely personal topics of gender identity, family, class, and queer liberation, but always with a generous heart, and a quick wit. Ivan's stories manage to handle both the hilarious and the historical with reverence and compassion, and remind us all of our own fallible and imperfect humanity, while at the same time inspiring us to change the world.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">W<a href="http://www.ivancoyote.com" target="">ebsite</a> / <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ivancoyote/?hl=en" target="_blank">Instagram</a> / <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ivanecoyote" target="">Facebook</a> / <a href="https://twitter.com/ivancoyote" target="">Twitter</a></p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Multiple Award winning singer/songwriter <strong>Sarah MacDougall </strong>is known for her poetic songs and passionate performances.
