From the acknowledgments: “This special issue of Sahtú Godé Dáhk’é was produced with the assistance of Alfred Masuzumi and Rose McNeely. Susan McKenzie of the Sahtú Land Use Planning Board created the map. Rob Kershaw and Anne Marie Jackson provided help with layout and design.”

This edition includes stories from:

Christine Harris. Arakə Túé Ba Agonáts’etî, Someone Dreamed at Arakə Túé
Deborah Simmons. Hunting Trip to the Barrenlands.
Gabe Kochon, Fort Good Hope (Interview narrative, transcribed and translated by Rose Kochon). K’î əlá, Birch Canoe.

Many of these stories are about a journey to Arakœ Túé, how to ask properly for good hunting conditions, and some of the qualities of the place, lessons, and stories that took place there. People who participated in the journey talked about visions, their memories of going to Arakœ Túé as children, and the lessons they had learned about it from elders.
