LIFE LIVED LIKE A STORY

Of Athapaskan and Tlingit ancestry, Angela Sidney, Kitty Smith, and Annie Ned lived in the southern Yukon Territory for nearly a century. They collaborated with Julie Cruikshank, an assistant professor in the Department of Anthropology at the University of British Columbia, to produce this unique kind of autobiography.

Julie Cruikshank's books include The Stolen Woman: Female Journeys in Tagish and Tutchone Narrative (1982).
