À propos de cet audio
A work in progress since the 1970s, We Remember the Coming of the White Man chronicles the history of the Sahtú (Mountain Dene) and Gwinch’in People in the extraordinary time of the early 20th century. Chapters are transcripts of oral histories by 10 Elders about their recollections of the early days of fur trading, guns, and flu pandemic; dismay about the way oil and uranium discoveries and pipelines were handled on their land; and the emotional and economic fallout of the signing of Treaty 11.

“Our traditional knowledge is recorded in the stories of our ancestors since time immemorial. In this book, you will read our oral history and traditions that are our Dene parables, used to guide ourselves and our People.” (Dene National Chief Norman Yakeleya)
“With rare mastery of his film-making craft, Dene story-teller Raymond Yakeleya carries on in this book, bringing a former and still ever-present world of wolf, bear and raven ik’o, medicine, magic and mystery to LIFE, to modern meaning.” (Antoine Mountain, author of From Bear Rock Mountain: The Life and Times of a Dene Residential School Survivor)

Wonderfully Honest Audio Document
This is a wonderful collection of true stories of the coming of the White settlers, as recalled from Native elders of the Dene at the time of the recordings in the 1970's. The elders are quite honest, sometimes saying complimentary things about the settlers. It is not about condemning anyone, merely sharing insights into how the Dene communities were impacted by illness, alcoholism and governmental decisions. But also different stories involving individuals, such as the odd salesman who would con them. But the big picture is on how brutally impacted their culture was, and the hopes of these elders for the future of their people. I found it quite insightful and I feel this book should be played in public school. It doesn't seem that political or divisive to me, just honest.
An important audio document on Canadian history and Native culture!
