"Dá̈kwändür Ghay Ghàkwädīndür--Our Story in Our Words tells the story of the peoples of the Kwanlin Dün First Nation, from thousands of years ago to the present day. This richly illustrated book includes traditional stories from long ago, told by Elders, about the origins of the world and the aftermath of a great flood, about "The Double Winter" and "The Girl Who Married the Bear." Several stories appear in Tlingit, Tagish, Northern Tutchone, or Southern Tutchone, to share these original languages of Kwanlin Dün with the next generation. The lives of early inhabitants of the Southern Yukon are imagined with reference to archaelogical finds and scientific understandings. Elders also share stories about the arrival of white people, about the Gold Rush days and the building of the Alaska Highway, and all the intense challenges that Kwanlin Dün faced. KDFN citizens recall the decades-long land claims struggle that culminated in the KDFN Final Agreements in 2005. And the many nation-building accomplishments since then are celebrated--with an eye to much success ahead. Throughout the book are striking historical pictures, beautiful contemporary artwork, and vivid photographs of the land. Dá̈kwändür Ghay Ghàkwädīndür--Our Story in Our Words is a wide-ranging story, told in many unique voices, that celebrates the values, endurance, and accomplishments of the Kwanlin Dün First Nation."--

"This film illustrates the changes the Lepcha of the Dzongu reserve, North Sikkim, have been through in the last 60 years. From the 1940's, the Lepcha of Tingvong village gradually abandoned hunting, gathering and the slash and burn cultivation of dry rice, and became settled agriculturalists. Entire mountains sides were converted to cardamom and terraced for the cultivation of irrigated paddy. The irrigated rice and the cardamom cash crop not only brought the Lepcha within Sikkim's market economy but helped create a surplus which could among other things be invested in religion. In the 1940's, the Lepcha of Tingvong embraced Buddhism and all its complex rituals without however abandoning their strong shamanic traditions. Today, both forms of rituals amiably co-exist in the village. This film is part of a long-term visual anthropology training project for the tribal communities of Sikkim."--Original container

Als der Krieg in Acquaviva vorbei war, suchte man die Schuldigen in der Gemeindeverwaltung und warf die Akten aus dem Fenster. Auch ein Mann wurde erschossen. Die Polizei nahm die mutmaßlichen Täter fest, deren sie habhaft werden konnte. Statt des Vaters des Sprechers, der sich versteckt hatte, nahmen sie seinen Onkel mit. Der gab alles zu, auch was er überhaupt nicht verbrochen hatte. Er wurde wieder freigelassen. ; Lorsque la guerre à Acquaviva était finie, on cherchait les coupables dans l'administration communale et on jetait les documents par la fenêtre. On tua même un homme. La police arrêta les présumés coupables qu'elle réussit à trouver. Au lieu d'arrêter le père du narrateur, qui s'était caché, ils prirent son oncle. Il admit tout, même les crimes qu'il n'avait pas commis. Il fut ensuite relâché.
