AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Finding most previous research focused on reconstructing traditional Slavey culture, this major study provides contrast by looking instead at the social dynamics of a community in the midst of a unique series of cooperative ventures to gain some degree of control over their own destiny.
