Tse-loh-ne (The People at the End of the Rocks): Journey Down the Davie Trail
Along the lines of Robin Ridington, Keith Billington has pursued a similar passion for First Nations ethnography by spending many years with various tribes in the north, first as a nurse and later as a band manager for the Sekani Band in Fort Ware.
Billington's third book about his experiences, Tse-loh-ne (The People at the End of the Rocks): Journey Down the Davie Trail (Caitlin $22.95), describes a 25-day, 460-kilometre traditional Sekani trek along the Aatse Davie Trail using pack dogs. They brought little food, relying instead on what they could hunt or gather.
The hike from Lower Post to Fort Ware includes grizzlies, cold, starvation, stick gambling and injury. The nomadic Sekani live approximately 1,600 kilometres north of Prince George in the Rocky Mountain Trench.
