Richard J. Hebda, Sheila Greer, Alexander Mackie, Books, History, Kwaday Dan Tsinchi: Teachings From Long Ago Person Found, On a late summer day a young man set out on a voyage through the mountains. In 1999, 300 years later, he was discovered by three hunters on the edge of a glacier in northwestern BC, near the Alaska-Yukon border. His remains, preserved in glacial ice for centuries, offered answers,setting in motion a unique multidisciplinary collaboration between indigenous peoples and the scientific community based on mutual respect. Through forensic investigation we learn that he was 18 years old, 5'8 tall, had a tapeworm, a gastric ulcer, and was in the early stages of tuberculosis. From the food sources found in his stomach, colon and rectum, we learned he traveled 70 km in two days. We know he died in August because flowers of the beach asparagus, found in his stomach, only bloom in August in the area he was found. The man's name had faded from even the long memory of the local Champagne and Aishihik indigenous peoples so they renamed him, Kwaday Dan Ts'inchi - the Long Ago Person Found.This comprehensive and collaborative account contains contributors from around the world, interweaving scientific analysis and cultural knowledge to describe not only an individual and his world, but also a model for how diverse ways of knowing, in both scholarly and oral traditions, can complement each other to provide a new understanding of our complex histories.
