Brody is that particular breed of anthropologist who deserves special mention for the respect he shows to the people whose story he tells. This is an excellent account of indigenous people living in their traditional, and in the modern world. The particular trigger for this study was the imminent construction of a oil/gas pipeline through their traditional hunting territories in Canada's West. In undertaking this work Brody unfolds the question of what is a viable hunting territory, and how the indigenous peoples manage their land alongside modern urban hunters. At the same time there is a profound insight into the dynamics of the groups he lived and hunted with. This is a raw account of the destruction of indigenous culture and ways of life, but it's also a testiment to the resilience of that culture.… (mehr)

Some great passages in here on the different hunter-gather communities Brody has spent time living and working with. Unfortunately, for me, too often it gets rather bogged down in the intricacies of linguistic origins or the various belief systems.

A very moving examination of a way of life under threat from the continuing White settlement and commercial expansion and exploitation of natural resources in northeast British Columbia, Canada. Brody's insight is coloured by his 18 month sojourn with the First Nation bands of the area. The chapters alternate between his beautifully and respectfully written accounts of various key moments in the annual season, with relevant essays exploring in some detail the different aspects of the historic betrayals and increasing pressures and restrictions on the Indians' way of living on their own land.

An early chapter retells a hunting trip to the Bluestone area. The dreams of the hunters play their part in guiding the itinerary, and the soul of these men and women is conveyed to the reader with considerable art and delicacy by Hugh Brody.

Occasionally becomes a touch dry with some of the extensive detail covering the Indian economy , but on the whole the book is very informative and written with passion and sensitivity for the subject. I now plan on reading Brody's 'The Other Side Of Eden'.
