<P><B>A unique contribution to literary and film analysis of Din&eacute; orature, Din&eacute; film, and an introduction to Dene literary arts</B></P><I>Restoring Relations Through Storie</I>s introduces, synthesizes, and analyzes traditional stories by Din&eacute; and Dene storytellers in orature and film. The book conceptualizes narrative autonomy as hane&rsquo;tonomy and visual storytelling from a Din&eacute; perspective, offering a map for re-storying that resists inauthentic and misappropriated stories. Watchman centres Indigenous narratives and examines how these narratives are tied to land and relations.<BR /><BR /> In the book&rsquo;s final movement, the author explores the power of story to forge ancestral and kinship ties between the Din&eacute; and Dene, across time and space, through re-storying of relations. <P> &#160; </P>
