End-of-earth people : the arctic Sahtu Dene / Bern Will Brown ; foreword by Norman Yakeleya.

Brown, Bern Will, 1920- (Author).

Summary:

"Bern Will Brown, noted northern author, artist, photographer, and respected community leader living in Colville Lake, Northwest Territories, provides new insights and perspectives on the Sahtu Dene, the people referred to as the "Hareskin" in Alexander Mackenzie's 1793 journal. Having lived among them for over sixty years and as a speaker of their dialect, Brown is well positioned to provide an adventure in history and culture rooted in the Hareskin traditional way of life."--Publishers website
