Our Whole Gwichin Way of Life Has Changed / Gwichin Kyuu Gwiidandai Tthak Ejuk Goonlih

Our Whole Gwichin Way of Life Has Changed / Gwichin Kyuu Gwiidandai Tthak Ejuk Goonlih is an invaluable compilation of historical and cultural information based on a project originally conceived by the Gwichin Social and Cultural Institute to document the biographies of the oldest Gwichin Elders in the Gwichin Settlement Region. Through their own stories, twenty-three Gwichin 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 McCartney assists by providing context and background on the lives of the narrators and their communities. Scholars, students, and all those interested in Canadian/Northern history, anthropology, Indigenous Studies, oral history, or cultural geography will benefit from this critical resource. Foreword by Grand Deputy Chief Jordan Peterson.
