People of the Lakes: Stories of Our Van Tat Gwich'in Elders/Googwandak Nakhwach'ànjòo Van Tat Gwich'in - Vuntut Gwitchin First Nation; Smith, Shirleen

As New; This book consists of oral accounts recorded by the Elders from the northern Yukon over the past half-century, and represents more than 150 years of their history meticulously translated from Gwich'in. Yet this book is more than a gathering of history - it is a tribute to this community and its rich heritage. Collaborator Shirleen Smith provides context for the stories, whether they are focused on an individual or international politics. Anthropologists, folklorists, ethnohistorians, political scientists, economists, members of First Nations, and readers interested in Canada's northernmost regions will find much to fascinate them.
