What people are saying about Finding Dahshaa:
 |
“This book is an important contribution to the study of the relationship between the Dene and Canada. Dr. Irlbacher-Fox is non-Indigenous, and she has spent most of her life living and working in Denendeh among the Dene, Metis, and Inuvialuit peoples. She has listened to us using both her mind and her heart, which shows in the passion and conviction she conveys in her research and writing. I welcome her contribution to bringing to light aspects of both the strength and the struggles of the Dene.”
– Bill Erasmus, Dene National Chief (from foreword) |

“Finding Dahshaa draws on Stephanie Irlbacher-Fox’s extensive hands-on negotiating experience, and formidable research and academic skills, to offer badly needed analysis of past and current issues impeding progress on aboriginal self-government in the Mackenzie Valley.”
– Mary Simon, President, Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami |

“Finding Dahshaa is the best study of why self-government negotiations in the North are not working well and how they can be made to work for the well-being of Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal partners. I highly recommend this profound, game-changing study to all concerned with the future of cooperation between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal peoples.”
