Description

Detailing the history of the aboriginal village of Iskut, British Columbia over the last 100 years, ‘We Are Still Didene’ examines the community’s transition from subsistence hunting to wage work in trapping, guiding, construction, and repair jobs.

Using naturally happening, extended transcripts of reports told by the gang’s hunters, Thomas McIlwraith explores how Iskut hunting culture and the memories that the Iskut share have been maintained orally.

McIlwraith demonstrates the ways by which these stories challenge the idealized images of Aboriginals that underlie state-sponsored traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) studies. McIlwraith as a substitute illuminates how these narratives are attached to the Iskut Village’s complex relationships with resource extraction companies and the province of British Columbia, in addition to their interactions with animals and the surroundings.
