Amanda Follett Hosgood conducted a fantastic interview with Lorraine Weir and Chief Roger William about the new community oral history Lha yudit’ih We Always Find A Way: Bringing the Tŝilhqot’in Title Case Home for the Tyee.
An excerpt from the article:
“The Tyee: I wanted to start by congratulating you, first on the book and also on the recent 10-year anniversary of recognizing Tŝilhqot’in title. At what point did you know that this was a book about the title case or was that always the plan?
Chief Roger William: That was always the plan. There are stories in there that I never knew. Lorraine was able to connect with some members who trusted her and there’s some of them that surprised me. It’s their own story, their own reality. What title means to them and their life story. I think part of that is healing.”
