"Don't Write Bulls**t": Working with Gwich'in in the Canadian North

This article is on the notion of collaboration following a pedagogical approach. Building on working with the Gwich'in, and subsequently the Gwich'in Social and Cultural Institute, for over a decade, I explore how the experiences of sharing lives and working with community members and institutions implies a particular way of crafting research and writing. I compare this with the work of Canadian anthropologist Richard Slobodin, who worked with Gwich'in over half a century ago.
