A history of the "End-of-Earth" Native people of Canada’s far-North Sahtu region.
Bern Will Brown, noted northern author, artist, photographer, and respected community leader living in Colville Lake, Northwest Territories, provides new insights and perspectives on the Sahtu Dene, the people referred to as the "Hareskin" in Alexander Mackenzie’s 1793 journal. Having lived among them for over sixty years and as a speaker of their dialect, Brown is well positioned to provide an adventure in history and culture rooted in the Hareskin traditional way of life.
End-of-Earth People, his latest contribution and a valuable record of the North, is a portrait of a people Brown has come to know in ways that anthropologists and ethnologists can only envy.
"Brown’s prose is straightforward and honest; the stories he relates of his encounters with his Dene friends are often amusing and come from the heart. As an added bonus, the book includes many of Brown’s own beautiful photographs. Well worth picking up for anyone interested in Arctic culture."
…the book presents a rich photographic archive of life in Colville Lake and the Sahtu region since the late 1940s…Brown’s photographs make a significant contribution to documenting history and life in the Northwest Territories…
Like the man himself, Bern Will Brown’s final legacy, as represented by this volume, is authentic and insightful.
