Description: "Reserve Memories examines how myths and narratives about the past have enabled a Northern Athabaskan community to understand and confront challenges and opportunities in the present. For over five centuries the Chilcotin people have lived in relative isolation in the rich timberlands and scattered meadows of the inland Northwest, in what is today known as west central British Columbia.

Although linguistic and cultural changes are escalating, they remain one of the more traditional and little known Native communities in northwestern North America."--BOOK JACKET.
