The people who call themselves Dene
Dhaa, a group of the Athapaskan-speaking Natives of
northwestern Canada known as the Slave or Slavey Indians,
now number about one thousand and occupy three reserves
in northwestern Alberta. Because their settlements were
until recently widely dispersed and isolated, they have
maintained their language and traditions more successfully
than most other Indian groups. This collection of their
stories, recorded in the Dene language with literal
interlinear English glosses and in a free English translation,
represents a major contribution to the documentation
of the Dene language, ethnography, and folklore. Patrick
J. Moore is a linguist with the Yukon Native Language
Centre; Angela Wheelock is a freelance writer.
