Abstract
"Discover the fascinating world of Dene culture in this collection of true stories, as Dene Elder George Blondin explores and explains the ancient phenomenon of medicine power, still present today. Given to the Dene people by the Creator for their way of life, medicine power can be used for both creation and destruction, and must be preserved as a vital component of Dene tradition.
Master storyteller Blondin takes us on an eye-opening journey to the heart of Dene history and tradition, attesting to the incredible strength and magnitude of medicine power. Documented before they were lost forever, these time-honoured stories demonstrate how medicine power has shaped Dene culture into what it is today."--Back cover.
