Lha yudit'ih we always find a way : bringing the Tŝilhqot'in title case home / Lorraine Weir with Chief Roger William and contributions by Elders Mabel Solomon xinli, Cecile William xinli, Martin Quilt xinli, Ivor Deneway Myers xinli, and forty-one Xeni Gwet'ins, Tŝilhqot'ins, and allies.
Eight years in the making, this is a community oral history of Tŝilhqot'in Nation volume British Columbia, the first case in Canada to result in a declaration of Aboriginal Rights and Title to a specific piece of land. Told from the perspective of the Plaintiff, Roger William, joined by fifty Xeni Gwet'ins, Tŝilhqot'ins, and allies, this book encompasses ancient stories of creation, modern stories of genocide through smallpox and residential school, and stories of resistance including the Tŝilhqot'inn War, direct actions against logging and mining, and the twenty-five-year battle in Canadian courts to win recognition of what Tŝilhqot'ins never gave up and have always known.
