Eight years in the making, Lha yuditih We Always Find a Way is a community oral history of Tsilhqotin Nation v. 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, Chief Roger William, joined by fifty Xeni Gwetins, Tsilhqotins, and allies, this book encompasses ancient stories of creation, modern stories of genocide through smallpox and residential school, and stories of resistance including the Tsilhqotin War, direct actions against logging and mining, and the twenty-five-year battle in Canadian courts to win recognition of what Tsilhqotins never gave up and have always known. We are the land, as Chief Roger says. After the violence of colonialism, he understands the court case as bringing our sight back. This book witnesses the power of that vision, its continuity with the Tsilhqotin world before the arrival of colonizers two centuries ago, and its potential for a future of freedom and self-determination for the Tsilhqotin People.

Acerca del autor
Roger William is the Plaintiff in the Tilhqot'in Rights and Title case. Born at Naghataneqed in Xeni, he is from the Bulyan family and is the great-great-grandson of Warrior Qaq'ez, older brother of Warrior Chief Lhats'assin. Roger served his community, Xeni Gwet'in, for five terms as Chief and three terms as Councillor. He did rodeo bull riding for fifteen years, mountain-raced for thirty-two years, was Overall Bull Riding Champion in 1993, and won the King of the Hill Mountain Race Championship in 2012 and 2013. In recognition of his twenty-five-year contribution to the Title case, Chief William was awarded an honorary LL.D. by the University of Northern British Columbia in 2015.
