The Dane-zaa people have lived in BC's Peace River area for thousands of years. Elders documented their peoples' history and worldview, passing them on through storytelling. Language loss, however, threatens to break the bonds of knowledge transmission. At the request of the Doig River First Nations, anthropologists Robin and Jillian Ridington present a history of the Dane-zaa people based on oral histories collected over a half century of fieldwork. These powerful stories not only preserve traditional knowledge for future generations, they also tell the inspiring story of how the Dane-zaa learned to succeed and flourish in the modern world.
Robin Ridington is a professor emeritus ofanthropology at the University of British Columbia and has worked withthe Dane-zaa First Nations since the 1960s. JillianRidington is an ethnographer and researcher who has workedwith the Dane-zaa First Nations since 1978. Their books about theDane-zaa include Robin's Trail To Heaven: Knowledge andNarrative in a Northern Native Community, and a co-authored book, When You Sing It Now, Just Like New: First Nations Poetics, Voicesand Representations.
