A narrative-based ethnohistory of a Denesu?iné community, also known as the Chipewyan, Kesyehot’ine, or Poplar House People. Jarvenpa highlights the historical experiences of middle-aged and older individuals who vividly recall a time before the roads and mines—when young and old alike spoke the Denesu?iné language and when entire families lived in a seasonally nomadic fashion in the bush.
