Neuware - Eight years in the making, Lha yudit'ih We Always Find a Way is a community oral history of Tsilhqot'in 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 Gwet'ins, T¿ilhqot'ins, and allies, this book encompasses ancient stories of creation, modern stories of genocide through smallpox and residential school, and stories of resistance including the T¿ilhqot'in War, direct actions against logging and mining, and the twenty-five-year battle in Canadian courts to win recognition of what T¿ilhqot'ins 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 T¿ilhqot'in world before the arrival of colonizers two centuries ago, and its potential for a future of freedom and self-determination for the T¿ilhqot'in People. …

About the Author
Lorraine Weir came to oral history from Irish studies early in her career and Indigenous Studies more recently via a bridge from the Law and Society field and papers on the concepts of “time immemorial” and “oral tradition” in the Tŝilhqot’in case. She worked as an expert witness in touchstone Canadian censorship court cases and has published on censorship, James Joyce and semiotics, and such Canadian writers as Margaret Atwood and Nicole Brossard. A fifth-generation descendant of Irish Famine survivors, she grew up in Montréal and holds a Ph.D. in Irish literature from Ollscoil na hÉireann (National University of Ireland). Weir is an Emeritus Professor of Indigenous Studies, Department of English Language and Literatures, University of British Columbia, Vancouver.
Chief Roger William is the Plaintiff in the Tŝilhqot’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’assʔin. Chief William 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.
