Edwin Thompson Denig was assigned as the post bookkeeper at Fort Union on the Upper Missouri in 1837 by the American Fur Company. He spent close to two decades there and married into the Assiniboine. In the summer of 1851, Father Pierre Jean de Smet spent two weeks at Fort Union. He encouraged Denig to write a number of sketches of the manners and customs of the Assiniboine and neighboring tribes. Denig compiled additional information in response to queries by early ethnographers, including Henry Rowe Schoolcraft, who were collecting ethnological information about Indian tribes in the United States.

When a man lives to be a hundred he has many tales to tell. When that man is Dan Kennedy of the Carry the Kettle First Nation in Saskatchewan, his hundred-year-old memories and personal recollections are a part of Canada's heritage. As Chief Ochankugahe he witnessed the final days of Pre-Contact Assiniboine Sioux society, the turmoil of the Indian Wars, Ghost Dance, the Homestead Era and the Residential Schools. Educated at St. Boniface College, the chief is an articulate, reflective commentator as well as an eye-witness to history. Despite the extreme human trials covered in the book, including famine and war, the Chief uses humour and compassion and is writes without rancour.
