Books and Reference

There is very little reference information on northern first nations. The few books and reference material available provide an invaluable reference. Without them much of our history may have been eventually lost. These books themselves are based on personal records and of course invaluable interviews with our elders, much of whom are no longer with us.

Although books and personal records help provide a history of our people, unfortunately there are many gaps in the record and some potential miss-leading information. In addition, contribution to this site is by armatures and should not be considered a definitive resource.
