What exactly is the West? Is it a territory with distinct borders? An environment or topography? A culture? A myth? Is the West simply a state of mind? These are the conversations we will explore with Winter Fishtrap, a three-day gathering to help develop a greater understanding of our place, ourselves, and each other.
