JOIN US FOR: 'SLUMACH'S GOLD - IN SEARCH OF A LEGEND ~ AND A CURSE'
Our upcoming PREDTalk features bestselling author and adventure traveller Rick Antonson.
Join us for an engaging evening where Rick will share captivating stories about an Indigenous man named Slumach and the legend of his lost gold (said to be nuggets the size of walnuts) near Pitt Lake, BC.
Rick co-authored the authoritative book about the legend, lies, hints and truths that began with a murder in 1890 in British Columbia. Through vivid storytelling and rich historical insight, Rick will unravel how this enduring mystery has captivated explorers for over a century - and why the search for Slumach’s gold continues to this day.
WHAT WILL YOU DISCOVER?
A Legendary Mystery: Hear the intriguing tale of Slumach’s Gold. Expedition leader Adam Palmer, from the History Channel’s Deadman’s Curse, notes "Slumach’s gold is one of North America’s most famous lost treasures!"
Fact, Fiction, and Folklore: Discover how myth and reality intertwine in the tale of Slumach’s gold. Rick will separate fact from fiction, revealing what history tells us - and what still remains shrouded in mystery.
The Hunt That Never Ends: Despite countless expeditions - and dozens of lives claimed by the so-called curse - the treasure has never been found… at least, not yet. Could the next chapter in this century-old mystery still be waiting to be written?
The session will be followed by a Q and A session to ensure all your questions are answered.
