Detailing the history of the aboriginal village of Iskut, British
Columbia over the past 100 years, 'We Are Still Didene' examines
the community's transition from subsistence hunting to wage work in
trapping, guiding, construction, and service jobs. Using naturally
occurring, extended transcripts of stories told by the group's
hunters, Thomas McIlwraith explores how Iskut hunting culture and
the memories that the Iskut share have been maintained orally.
McIlwraith demonstrates the ways in which these stories challenge
the idealized images of Aboriginals that underlie state-sponsored
traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) studies. McIlwraith instead
illuminates how these narratives are connected to the Iskut
Village's complex relationships with resource extraction companies
and the province of British Columbia, as well as their interactions
with animals and the environment.
