RIVER GODDESS
Shweta Bonneau is the designer and owner of River Goddess. She studied fashion design in India and New York City. Her love for Indian textiles and designing clothes motivated her to open her own boutique in Dubai when she was just 21 years old.
Shweta met her husband Andrew in Australia and in 2010 moved from Dubai to Australia. Their mutual interest in arts, textiles, travel, nature and design have built the foundation of their business.
River Goddess designs are inspired by traditional textiles, vintage styles and natural fabrics. They love using cotton and other breathable fabrics for their collections and, as they highly value aesthetics, do not compromise on the quality of materials.
River Goddess is very pleased to work with small businesses in India and Indonesia, where they ensure that every worker is paid an above average salary and that working conditions are excellent.

The Denman SS
A new landmark on our journey to circularity, the Short-Sleeved Denman Shirt features 100% recycled buttons made from end-of-life oyster farming trays. Helping clean up our home coast while reducing our use of conventional plastics, the trays are salvaged by the Ocean Legacy Foundation before being melted down and re-molded into new ANIÁN buttons. For spring and summer comfort, the shirt also features our lightest woven material—a soft and breathable post-consumer recycled cotton and linen chambray blend that combines warm-weather ease with enough strength to last. With a cut and details that can be dressed up for work or dressed down for beach days and evenings on the boat, the design has a convertible collar and a straight bottom hem.
Made in Canada.
The Cabin Shirt
Like the coastal homesteads that inspired its name, this new midweight flannel is as sturdy and comfortable go-to at any time of year. It’s made from a soft and breathable post-consumer recycled cotton blend, and combines classic styling with construction that’s as solid as it comes. The design features a simple collar, a buttoned left chest pocket, double-button sleeve plackets and a curved hem. A double yoke lies comfortably on the shoulders and adds more weather protection, and a box pleat allows more freedom of movement across the back. To further reduce its environmental impact, the Cabin Shirt is manufactured in our unique, dye-free process that reduces wastewater and eliminates the need for harmful chemical dyes.
Made In Canada.

The Wild Horses of the Chilcotin: Their History and Future
Wayne McCrory
The Chilcotin’s wild horses are romantic and beautiful, but they are also controversial: they are seen by government policy as intruders competing for range land with native species and domestic cattle and, as a result, they have been subject to culls and are not officially protected.
In this compelling book, wildlife biologist Wayne McCrory draws upon two decades of research to make a case for considering these wonderful creatures, called qiyus in traditional Tŝilhqot’in culture, a resilient part of the area’s balanced prey-predator ecosystem. McCrory also chronicles the Chilcotin wild horses’ genetic history and significance to the Tŝilhqot’in, juxtaposing their efforts to protect qiyus against movements to cull them.
Sinixt in the Slocan: The Last 3,000 Years
Written by Nathan Goodale, Alissa Nauman, Cole Harris & Lori Barkley
Although unknown until recently by the settler society that displaced them in the 19th century, the Sinixt have lived in the Slocan Valley for the last 3,000 years, perhaps much longer. Drawing on recent archaeological investigations, Part 1 of this booklet describes the occupational history of one of their villages, at Slocan Narrows some 10 km south of Slocan Lake. Then, relying on the ethnographic record, Part 2 describes Sinixt life in the valley in the mid-18th century, before the devastating smallpox epidemic of the early 1780s, then follows a changing Sinixt demography until about 1900, when Sinixt seem to have been gone from the Slocan. A third part, dealing with the years from 1900 to the present, treats the return of Sinixt to the valley and the difficulties and opportunities this has created.
