Heading North: A Female Odyssee

By Chris Honingh

This is the story of Thana, short for Thanadeltth'er, a D?nesųlı̨ne girl. In 1713, Cree warriors devastate her camp. They kill many and take hostages, among which Thana and her friend Ashanti. The Cree are hostile to the D?nesųlı̨ne tribe, whom they suspect to be trading with the Hudson Bay Company, on which they hold exclusive rights. Thanadeltth'er's life comes alive through the 1714-1717 records written by James Knight for the Hudson Bay Company (HBC) post at York Factory (also known as Fort York). These records refer to her as "Slave Woman."
