"This book helps us pass on the knowledge of many
elders and their stories. . . It helps us to pass on our 'words',
pass on a part of what is our culture, our future." (Mary Kendi,
Gwich'in Elder)"WWF has been expanding the work we are doing
in the Canadian Arctic and this report should prove to be an
interesting and valuable resource for us. . . It looks like it
will be a very special resource for many people and organizations."(Catherine
Merriman, World Wildlife Fund)"The Elders who have contributed
to this book have much to be proud of. Their words of wisdom
and experience are important, not only to the youth, but to all
who wish to keep our culture alive." (Don Morin, Premier, NWT)
