Items related to Trail to Heaven
Trail to Heaven is a record of one anthropologist's twenty-five years of work among the Dunne-za, the Beaver Indians of northeastern British Columbia. On one level an oral history of the Dunne-za, of their knowledge and their way of life, it is also the story of how Robin Ridington's own assumptions, beliefs and learning were challenged by the people he came to study. Writing in a narrative style that is both evocative and authentic, Ridington describes the meeting of two very different systems of knowledge and the evolution of an anthropology that incorporates them both.
