Language loss, however, threatens to break the bonds of knowledge transmission. At therequest of the Doig River First Nations, anthropologists Robin andJillian Ridington present a history of the Dane-zaa people based onoral histories collected over a half century of fieldwork. Thesepowerful stories not only preserve traditional knowledge for futuregenerations, they also tell the inspiring story of how the Dane-zaalearned to succeed and flourish in the modern world.
