Thanks for sharing this. i made one vedeo in 1999 abaut Gwich'in in Arctic Village, you can find it on google, search: "Alaska: Caribou don't drink oil" by Mattia Mariani (FVC)
Thank you for these video's on Youtube. My grandmother was Alice Cardinal, who married George Dunacan. They had 4 children, who were raised as whites. My mother had 8 children, 7 girls and 1 boy. When I got old enough I started to question my family about how we look native! My Grandmother had passed away so I couldnt ask her about her heritage.
As a young woman I learned to hunt, skin and tan hides and fish, not knowing this was part of my heritage. I'm proud to be a Gwichin.
Thanks for sharing this. The Gwich'in are a beautiful people. We skins down south in the States often forget how much we have sold out and how much we continue to do so.
