The Vuntut Gwitchin First Nation and Shirleen Smith share fifty years of Elders’ oral histories, recounting 150 years of Gwich'in life.
Many people have a mental picture of the Canadian north that juxtaposes beauty with harshness. For the Van Tat Gwich''in, the northern Yukon is home, with a living history passed on from Elders to youth. This book consists of oral accounts that the Elders have been recording for 50 years, representing more than 150 years of their history, all meticulously translated from Gwich''in. Yet this is more than a gathering of history; collaborator Shirleen Smith provides context for the stories, whether they are focused on an individual or international politics. Anthropologists, folklorists, ethnohistorians, political scientists, economists, Indigenous Peoples, and readers interested in Canada''s northernmost regions will find much to fascinate them.
