Drum Songs : Glimpses of Dene History - Abel, Kerry

Clean, tight, unmarked; crease across upper back corner of cover; light wear to inside corners; otherwise spine straight and uncreased; very minimal wear; Drum Songs examines the history of the Dene from ancient times to the present. Tracing key themes and reconstructing important moments in Dene history, Abel demonstrates how the Dene have maintained a sense of cultural distinctiveness in the face of overwhelming economic, political, and cultural pressures from European newcomers. Abel stresses the adaptability of the Dene and their ability to make rational and satisfying choices when faced with a variety of external peoples in Canada have been passive victims of colonialism.
