Homcoming - A Boundary Waters Story

In Homecoming, Joe Fairbanks travels through the same waters where he learned to paddle as a boy: the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. Today, these are some of the most endangered waters in America. Joe reflects on the experience of being diagnosed with cancer and draws on his personal connection to the natural landscape for strength and healing to illustrate the importance of nature preservation.

Homecoming raises awareness about the threat of sulfide-ore copper mining near the Boundary Waters. Industrial mines have been proposed on the edge of the Wilderness. There has never been a sulfide-ore copper mine that has not polluted local waters.
