A provocative analysis of a nativist movement.
The creation of a huge artificial lake in western Canada led to the
flooding of prime hunting and trapping territory of the Sekani
Indians thus depriving them of their traditional occupations and
livelihood. This caused considerable social distress resulting in a
drastic increase of alcohol consumption and violence and seriously
disrupting social relationships. Some Sekani made efforts to create
new ties of solidarity through the adoption of Pan-Indianism
however this ideology did not prove effective. The author concludes
that their lack of unity stemmed from the same factionalism which
characterized their personal relationships.
