The author, a young anthropologist, was sent on a 5 week trip into northeast British Columbia to ''map'' the lands and way of life of a small group of Beaver Indians directly in the path of a projected oil pipeline to the United States Midwest. However, the tribal elders had their own ideas about how their lives should be shown to the white world. The result is the book, an extraordinary and totally unexpected 18 month journey through the world of a people who have no intention of vanishing into the noble past. In this beautifully written book, we go on a moose hunt; trap beaver; mourn at a funeral; drink in white bars; visit camps, cabins, and traplines by pickup truck, on horseback and on foot. Illustrated. Description text copyright 2005 BooksForComfort. Item ID 8658.
