Mills uses Expedition Denali and its team members' adventures as a jumping-off point to explore how minority populations view their place in wild environments and to share the stories of those who have already achieved significant accomplishments in outdoor adventures--from Mathew Henson, a Black explorer who stood with Peary at the North Pole, to Kai Lightner, a teenage sport climber currently winning national competitions. The goal of the expedition, and now the book, is to inspire minority communities to look outdoors for experiences that will enrich their lives, and to encourage them toward greater environmental stewardship."--Publisher's web site. 650 0 Mountaineering|xSocial aspects. 650 0 Multiculturalism. 650 1 Mountaineering|xSocial aspects. 650 1 Outdoor life. 650 1 African Americans|xRecreation. 650 1 Multiculturalism. 650 7 Mountaineering|xSocial aspects.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01028348 650 7 Multiculturalism.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01028836 994 C0|bMCP
