This book provides an insider view of Haida language, history, and
culture, and offers a perspective on Haida culture that comes not
only from external research but also from intimate knowledge and
experiences the author has had as a Haida Nation citizen. The
book's focus on language - past, present, and future - allows
insight into the Haida language documentation and revitalization
process that will benefit other cultures currently addressing
similar issues with their language. Being able to write and discuss
Haida culture as an insider affords the opportunity to instantiate
the role of a First Nations scholar including the intricacies
involved in having a voice about one's own culture and history. A
First Nations person publishing a book about his or her own culture
is a rare opportunity. However, such publications will become more
common as other indigenous scholars and writers emerge from other
margins around the world.
