• Resumen

  • Leon Andrew was out hunting with his father when he first encountered the raw power of a herd of caribou. He could see them moving as a vast, dark, almost unbroken mass over the Mackenzie mountains. He was awestruck. It wake him up to see how many caribou there were, he says. Andrew is now an elder of the Dene people, one of Canada's indigenous First Nations communities, who lives in Deline, a town in the Sahtu (Great Dear Lake) region of the Northwest Territories. The Dene have long hunted caribou. But the days of those vast herds are threatened. Here, Ogden discusses getting to grips with their names and how humans can help save the reindeer.
