Stories from the People of the Land
Our Whole Gwichâin Way of Life Has Changed / Gwichâin Kâyuu Gwiidandà iâ Tthak Ejuk Gòonlih: Stories from the People of the Land is an invaluable compilation of historical and cultural information. Through their own stories, 23 oldest Gwichâin Elders from the Northwest Territories communities of Fort McPherson, Tsiigehtshik, Inuvik, and Aklavik share their joy of living and travelling on the land. Their distinctive voices speak to their values, world views, and knowledge, while coâauthor McCartney assists by providing context and background on the lives of the narrators and their communities.
