DENE THA FIRST NATION - Historical Overview

The Dene Tha are one of the least-known First Nations in North America. They were the last Nation in Alberta to take reservations, the Chief then being the the last Hereditary Chief in Canada. They remained one of the most isolated groups until recently. There is virtually nothing in print pertaining to the history of this Nation. This is the first - and only - publication tracing the history of this grop from its earliest origins to their settlement on reservations in the 1950s. This publication, dealing with Northwestern Alberta, is also the first comprehensive look at the history of the region. 148 pages.
