Travels Among the Gwich'in

Bert and Jane Gildart have been traveling among the Gwich’in people for over 12 years. During the 1991 to 1992 school year, they worked as teachers, then returned for four more summers as summer school teachers. Because their passions had been aroused, they then resumed the type of work Bert had conducted for almost 25 years: specifically, work as a writer and photographer for many national magazines, including Smithsonian. The following represents an excerpt from one of Bert’s many stories that he wrote about the Gwich’in Indians and the land upon which they depend: specifically, the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. This introduction was part of a story that appeared in National Wildlife Magazine ,and it provided much of the material the Gildart’s used in their slide lecture, “Hunting For Their Future.”
