We Are A River
We Are A River
by Paul Andrew ONWT and Patrick Scott PhD
Explore the rich tapestry of Treaty 11 and its enduring impact on the Dene people with "We Are A River." Authored by Shutoatine broadcaster and former chief Paul Andrew, alongside longtime northerner and former land claims negotiator Patrick Scott, this compelling book delves into the heart of the treaty's oral and written histories.
"We Are A River" draws on thousands of evocative photographs taken by Native Communications Society reporters during the 100th-anniversary Treaty 11 gatherings along the Mackenzie River in the summer of 2021. These images, paired with insightful narratives, vividly portray the celebrations and reflections on Treaty 11.
The book offers an accessible history, beautifully weaving stories of treaties through maps and photos. It's a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the deeper meanings of Treaty 11 as interpreted by Dene people, and how these interpretations often clash with the written version understood by non-Indigenous people.
Paul Andrew, known for his contributions to culture, education, healing, and broadcasting, brings his extensive experience and deep connection to the Dene heritage. He has served as Chief of Tulit’a, VP of the Dene Nation, and has been honored with the Order of the NWT and a National Aboriginal Achievement Award. Co-author Patrick Scott has an extensive background with CBC, land claim and self-government negotiations, the Dehcho First Nations, and World Vision, and is the author of "Stories Told."
