Elders’ Stories: Memories and Wisdom (2007) is a series of eight documentary shorts created for the Quesnel and District Museum and Archives. The videos, based on interviews with Elders who speak Dakelh, look at different aspects of Dakelh First Nations culture in the Interior of BC – drying blueberries, working with hides, the church, the last war in Kluskus and the tale of Ustas, amongst others.
