Haa Shagoon (Our Family History) Sidney, Mrs. Angela; Cruickshank, Julie; Ward, Peggy Indigenous

85 pages plus map of Tagish region, southern Yukon lakes. Large, oblong, spiral-bound book has been well used, with considerable cover wear and curling of page corners. Cruikshank?s text takes up the first 25 pages, with the remaining 60 pages devoted to the genealogical information itself. "Mrs. Angela Sidney lives in the small community of Tagish, some 20 miles from where she was born. All her life she has taken a great interest in the history, traditions, and stories told and discussed in the southern Yukon. Since 1975, she has been actively recording traditions from her region. ? In the course of our work over the years, we have kept a list of the personal names of each individual mentioned. Recently we have been able to concentrate on tying those names together in a family tree. This booklet is her reconstruction of her genealogy, a family tree which extends back in time to the mid 1800s and forward to the present generation. ? Mrs. sidney's reconstruction encompasses 6 generations. While a few names of grandchildren and great grandchildren are included on these charts, her emphasis is on the names from past generations which are in danger of disappearing and being forgotten." - Julie Cruikshank
