This is an examination of Canada's Self-Government policy from the perspective of someone who worked for First Nations communities in negotiating self-government in the Northwest Territories. It is a nice complement to the current crop of best-selling, right-wing analyses, but no less ideological. ( )
Original and very profound, this book is distinguished by both an engaged and critical point of view and a highly successful style and approach. In counterpoint to a touching personal story relating the author’s gradual initiation into the central components of Dene culture, the book explores the deep misunderstanding that undermines negotiations between First Nations and Canadian public authorities. The methodology is flawless and the reasoning – even though it sometimes makes the reader despair – is absolutely coherent. In a field that has now given us so many books, the publication of a work of such depth and scope should still be widely hailed. Finding Dahshaa may one day be recognized as a classic of political anthropology.
Just as dahshaa - a rare type of dried, rotted spruce wood - is essential to the moosehide-tanning process in Dene culture, self-determination and the alleviation of social suffering are necessary to Indigenous survival in Northwest Territories. But is self-government an effective path to self-determination? Finding Dahshaa shows where self-government negotiations between Canada and the Dehcho, Délînê, and Inuvialuit and Gwich'in peoples have gone wrong and offers, through descriptions of tanning practices that embody principles and values central to self-determination, an alternative model for negotiations. This book, which includes a foreword by Dene National Chief Bill Erasmus, is the first ethnographic study of self-government negotiations in Canada.
