"I am in awe of what you are holding and witnessing with The Man Who Lived with a Giant. Reminiscent of George Blondin's When the World was New and Trail of the Spirit, this book is not only a treasure for the people of Denendeh, it is a garden of renewal for the world to learn from."--Richard Van Camp, Writer "Johnny's traditional and life stories are nothing short of exquisite, offering an important window into Dene traditions and history. What a find!"--Ruth DyckFehderau, Writer, The Sweet Bloods of Eeyou Istchee: Stories of Diabetes and the James Bay Cree, "[Johnny Neyelle's] recorded stories were meticulously translated by his son Morris Neyelle and editor Alana Fletcher to blossom into this beautiful memoire, which is truly a guide to being... An invaluable road map, a gift from Johnny Neyelle that will help guide the people of Denedeh and everyone else to a positive life."--Deborah Shatz "The stories were told in Sahtúot'in Yat and recorded on tape, and then transcribed and translated collaboratively by Morris Neyelle and Fletcher. Interspersed through both sections [of stories] are photos of the Neyelle family, and at the end are a family genealogy and a glossary.... The afterword, on the editing process, is an important part of understanding the translation and redaction methods used in creating this collection."
