{"id":6816228474939,"title":"Northwest Passage","handle":"northwest-passage","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinner of the Governor General's Literary Award for Children's Illustration\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAward-winning artist Matt James takes the iconic song \"Northwest Passage\" by legendary Canadian songwriter and singer Stan Rogers and tells the dramatic story of the search for the elusive route through the Arctic Ocean to the Pacific, which for hundreds of years and once again today, nations, explorers and commercial interests have dreamt of conquering, often with tragic consequences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor hundreds of years explorers attempted to find the Northwest Passage - a route through Canada's northern waters to the Pacific Ocean and Asia. Others attempted to find a land route. Many hundreds of men perished in the attempt, until finally, in 1906, Roald Amundsen completed the voyage by ship. Today global warming has brought interest in the passage back to a fever pitch as nations contend with each other over its control and future uses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe historic search inspired Canadian folk musician Stan Rogers to write \"Northwest Passage\", a song that has become a widely known favorite since its 1981 release. It describes Stan's own journey overland as he contemplates the arduous journeys of some of the explorers, including Kelsey, Mackenzie, Thompson and especially Franklin. The song is moving and haunting, a paean to the adventurous spirit of the explorers and to the beauty of the vast land and icy seas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lyrics are accompanied by the striking paintings of multiple award-winning artist Matt James. Matt brings a unique vision to the song and the history behind it, providing commentary on the Franklin expedition and its failure to heed the wisdom of Inuit living in the North.
